Abstract
© 2011 Donatella Galella In the fall of 2009, the Foundry Theatre loaded audiences onto a bus for a tour of the South Bronx and its changing history and beauty through the lens of gentrification. An ambitious site-specific production, The Provenance of Beauty: A South Bronx Travelogue won an award for Distinguished New Play Project from the National Endowment for the Arts/Arena Stage New Play Development Program. Because Arena Stage intended to showcase all of the award-winning productions in what became the #NewPlay Festival, the Foundry’s artistic producer Melanie Joseph and poet-playwright Claudia Rankine knew that they would have to adapt their production for the festival in Washington, D.C. But producing a site-specific performance in a different place fundamentally alters the piece and the audience’s experience.
