Theater Mitu

Michael has been a company member of Theater Mitu for the past 15 years: having collaborated on multiple projects and education initiatives globally. Driven by a commitment to innovation, Theater Mitu expands the definition of theater through methodical experimentation with its form. Framing art making as a mode of research and inquiry, Theater Mitu achieves this through theatrical productions, trans-global research initiatives, artist support opportunities, education programs galvanizing the next generation of artists, and the curated programing of MITU580, its multi-use art space in Gowanus, Brooklyn. Over its 22-year history, Theater Mitu’s permanent ensemble of artists has utilized theater to build bridges across ideas, cultures, and communities. The company’s commitments to artistic rigor, disciplined exploration, and the continuous exchange of knowledge has led to national presentations of its work at venues including BAM, The Public Theater, NYTW, Z Space, Contemporary Arts Center New Orleans, Los Angeles Theatre Center, and Mass MoCA. Internationally, the company’s productions have been presented at The Cairo Opera House (Egypt), The Kontakt Festival (Poland), DuocUC (Chile), The NYUAD Arts Center (UAE), Patravadi Arts Center (Thailand), and the MESS Festival (Bosnia and Herzegovina). Theater Mitu has been awarded support from the NEA, New England Foundation for the Arts, MAP Fund, Trust for Mutual Understanding, The Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation, CEC Artslink, Network of Ensemble Theaters, Mental Insight Foundation, New York Community Trust, Howard Gilman Foundation, The Cultural Development Fund, and The New York State Council on the Arts.
