THE WOOSTER GROUP is a group of artists that create theatrical, dance, and media pieces based in Soho, New York City.
Their theatrical pieces include "radical staging of both modern and classic texts, found materials, films and videos, dance and movement, multi-track scoring, and an architectonic approach to theatre design." (taken from http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/organizations/w/wooster_group/index.html?inline=nyt-org)
Due to its multi-medium characteristics, The Wooster Group's art appeals to individuals from a multitude of artistic backgrounds.
The Wooster Group has, in the past, performed art by Gertrude Stein and Eugene O'Neill, who both spoke to the increase in industrialization and its affects on human interaction and perception. As stated in an article published by the New York Times (referring to Gertrude Stein's theories): "Life had ceased to flow in a continuous stream; it could be frozen, replicated and taken apart in ways previously unknown. The human eye had been shattered." (taken from http://www.nytimes.com/2005/02/28/theater/28note.html?pagewanted=2)
