    About This Event

    The Ford/Hill Project presents research-driven ensemble plays at BAM, operating at the intersection of theater and contemporary performance. Onstage it privileges structure and close attention to text over theatrical display, letting ideas accumulate through scene, voice and pacing—an approach built from ensemble practice and a research-forward process.

    About The Ford/Hill Project(play)

    At La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club, *The Ford/Hill Project* unfolds as a live stage work that traces a set of linked histories and the people who carry them. Built with documentary methods, it layers spoken testimony, reconstructed scenes, and archival traces into a single timeline that keeps slipping between public record and private memory. La MaMa’s role as a downtown incubator gives the piece a clear New York context, even when the story ranges outward. Its most telling move is refusing neat closure, letting the evidence remain contested.
