The Panoply Performance Laboratory (PPL) is a performance art and theater collective formed by librettist/director Esther Neff and co-directed with composer/sound artist Brian McCorkle. PPL projects are created by a flexible body of artists from a diversity of backgrounds and are often multi-lingual and radically inter-disciplinary.  Excruciatingly sincere in their dedication to populist, political, and philosophically-driven documentary music-theatre works, PPL has shown work at Dixon Place, University Settlement, University of the Streets, Gathering of the Tribes, ABC No Rio, The West End Theater, The Hudson Guild Theater, Manhattan Theatre Source, Judson Church, Surreal Estate, Studio Maya, IRT, The Brecht Forum, The Brooklyn Arts Exchange, The Battle Ranch, a bank vault on Wall Street (through Swing Space from LMCC) and two chashama storefront spaces, in a pop-up gallery through QMAD, at the LaGuardia Performing Arts Center and other educational institutions, in bars and parkinglots, on the Theresienwiese where the Oktoberfest is held in Munich, Germany, above a mall in Goshen, Indiana, and in other spaces and sites elsewhere.  They have created the music-theatre works On the Cranial Nerves of Barbarians, The Last Dreams of Helene Weigel […], the installation/software/performance/video The Silviculture Museum, a full-length film In the Company of Eshu, and are currently working on the final piece in the Transformational Grammer of the Institutional Glorybowl trilogy (Institute_Institut) by conducting a series of Focus Workshops and interviews regarding relationships between individuals and institutions.

thingNY is a 501c3 not-for-profit collective of composer-performers who create and perform theatrically charged experimental music, champion the work of avant-garde and contemporary classical composers, and collaborate across disciplines, media and genres, often stirring up aesthetic controversy. Called an “inventive new music cabal” by Time Out New York, thingNY has brought their blend of performance art and improvisation to theatres, concert halls, art galleries and DIY venues around New York including the Galapagos Art Space, Judson Memorial Church, the Tank, the University of the Streets, LaGuardia Performing Arts Center, Littlefield, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, ISSUE: Project Room and The Stone. Their fifth season included residencies at the LaGuardia Performing Arts Center, as well as performances, talkbacks and open workshops at Littlefield, Dixon Place, The Secret Theatre and upcoming performances in various historical homes throughout and beyond the metro area as part of their traveling concert/sound installation, IN HOUSE.
The New Yorker’s Alex Ross listed thingNY as part of the city’s burgeoning avant-garde classical music scene “striking an attitude of resistance to mainstream culture.” Comprised of composer-performers from the NYC metro area, thingNY creates and performs theatrically charged experimental music and collaborative fluxus-esque multimedia works which have included a collaboratively-created opera, a radio play by Beckett and over a hundred premieres of new music. New Music Box hailed thingNY’s first album, the eccentrically excessive opera ADDDDDDDDD, as “rapid-fire… pulseracing… all consuming…. packaged with a fun, quirky, comic book libretto. A lovely item that takes the album a step beyond the usual CD release, it makes the physical object in the digital age an interesting piece of art in and of itself, worthy of shelf space and providing plenty of additional visual stimulation.”
