Poor Dog Group

Poor Dog Group We are a contemporary theater collective working in Los Angeles, California. Our first work was presented by REDCAT at the 08' New Original Works Festival. ft.

Poor Dog Group [PDG] met while studying at the California Institute of the Arts and have been working together under the name Poor Dog Group since 2008. The following year we celebrated the opening of our 6,100 sq. performance warehouse, which was located in downtown Los Angeles. We toured throughout Eastern Europe performing in over a dozen cities in Croatia, Poland, and Serbia. Funding was provi

ded by Theater Communications Group, The Foundation for Contemporary Arts, The Grotowski Institute, The United States Embassy in Serbia, and private donors. Partnering with the CalArts Center for New Performance, PDG was presented at the inaugural RADAR LA Festival, co-produced by The Public Theater’s Under the Radar Festival, Centre Theater Group, and REDCAT. This project received significant support from the National Endowment for the Arts and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. In 2010, we participated in a REDCAT residency with esteemed Polish director Grzegorz Jarzyna. In 2011, we traveled to The Netherlands to collaborate with Dutch actor collective Wunderbaum and participate in the annual Rotterdamse Schouwburg Festival. Our work has been commissioned and presented at The Getty Villa Theater Lab Series (CA), The Curtis R. Preim Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center (NY), RADAR LA, South Coast Repertory Theater (CA), LAX Festival (LA), Baruch Performing Arts Center (NY), and the Bootleg Theater (LA). Our latest work, FIVE SMALL FIRES was developed at YADDO (NY).
