Jeff Glassman is a theatre artist, actor, and composer of movement from Chicago, living in Urbana, Illinois. From 1971 to 1986, he was a founding member of the United Mime Workers[1] experimental theatre collective[2] and toured in the United States, Eastern and Western Europe, Mexico and Cuba.[3] He innovated several different ways of organizing, composing and notating movement and speech for theatre. This includes ways of composing movement and speech separately in time and space involving a three-dimensional grid system. He has taught "Inventing Systems for Theatre and Music" at The Evergreen State College.
Continuously since 1991 he has collaborated extensively with movement-based theatre artist Lisa Fay through originating ideas, techniques and new performance works. They invent ways for disengaging normal relations of speech to gesture, for separating characters into parallel time-place frames of reference, and for bringing the elements back together in novel arrangements. They tour often as the "Lisa Fay and Jeff Glassman Duo" and "Fay|Glassman Performance" in the US and South Korea and conduct performance residencies.[4][5]
