Aaron Landsman

BIO

I am a playwright, actor and teacher. My original site-specific performance works include: Appointment (ongoing), a series of collaborative works created for one audience member, performed in working offices. Open House (2008), commissioned by The Foundry Theatre in New York and presented in 24 New York City apartments, from a squat in Bushwick to a multimillionaire’s loft overlooking the Brooklyn Bridge; Love Story (2007), an audio walk and gallery monologue presented at Austin’s FuseBox Festival; What You’ve Done (2005), a co-production between Houston’s DiverseWorks Art Space and Project Row Houses; Family Establishment (2003), presented by Dixon Place at a bar; and Desk (2002), performed in an abandoned midtown office.

My stage works, including Special Tonight, Running Away From The One With The Knife, Wreckage, How To Get By And Be Easily Understood, and Red White and Still, have been presented in New York, Philadelphia, Cleveland, San Diego and Minneapolis, and internationally in Sweden and Belarus. My work has been funded by The Jerome Foundation, The Bosssak-Heilbron Foundation, the Vogelstein Foundation, Brooklyn Arts Council and Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, as well as by individual donors. I am a current artist in residence at HERE art center.

Since 2004, I have performed regularly with Elevator Repair Service Theater, appearing in two acclaimed productions, Gatz and The Sound And The Fury, both of which continue to tour regionally and internationally. I have also appeared in the work of, among other artists, Richard Maxwell, Tory Vazquez, Johanna S. Meyer, and Phil Soltanoff/Mad Dog. I have taught at NYU and The Juilliard School, and guest lectured widely on artistic process, collaboration, and professional development for artists.

My publication credits include Contemporary Theatre Review(UK), The Village Voice, Clackamas Literary Review, Hobart and Mudfish. I am currently developing several new projects including an immersive theater work called Waiting Room and a big huge experience called City Council Meeting.
