Text and sound performative interrelations

Object Collection was founded in 2004 by writer/director Kara Feely and composer/musician Travis Just. Based in Brooklyn, the group operates within the intersecting practices of performance, experimental music and theater. We are concerned with simultaneity, complexity, and radicality, combining dense layers of text, notation, objects and processes. We work to give audiences unconventional viewing experiences through our merging of theatricality and pedestrian activity. Our works upset habitual notions of time, pace, progression and virtuosity. We value accumulation above cohesion. Travis Just is the composer for Object Collection. His music often uses text, objects, and gesture in addition to instruments, voice, and electronics. He will lead the group in exercises based on compositional concepts adapted from years of his interdisciplinary practice.
