The DiverseWorks project is planned in collaboration with the Menil Collection to stage the performance at the Menil's residence house, which was designed by Modernist architect Philip Johnson. The performances are planned inside the house, as well as in DiverseWorks new space, which includes a 2,000 square foot gallery and black box theaters. MODERN LIVING is a performance installation that takes place in modernist homes, including Philip Johnson’s Glass House in New Canaan, CT;; the Schindler House in Los Angeles;; the Breuer House in Tarrytown, NY; and the Menil House in Houston. These houses sheltered different manifestations of intimacy, and ideas of family and relationships.
