“Every time and
age |
Ø "At 18 I worked closely with writer/choreographer Kenneth King, who helped kindle my interest in the possibilities of combining movement and language play." |

"At 19, I improvised duets with avant garde theater
artist Meredith Monk in her lower Manhattan loft." |
|
Ø "At 27, I produced 36-actor play Everyday Business, of which Performance Art magazine wrote: “No aspect of New York behavior seems to escape Lubar’s gentle wit and incisive comment….the [play]…is witty, endearing, and stylistically successful.” And The Village Times wrote of earlier play, Emily Likes the TV, “…an extraordinary evocation of our times, attitudes and little trials…alternatingly lovely, funny and pointed…a memorable theater experience."
|
Ø "From age 23 – 30, I wrote, directed and produced several performance art pieces, acting and singing in some. Most were presented in New York (at the Kitchen, the Performing Garage, etc.) Also during this period, I collaborated with artist Christopher Knowles on workshops and performances in Portland, Seattle and Toronto, as well as New York." |
Ø "At 17 I began studying with Robert Wilson, who taught a workshop in theater, movement and awareness in his SoHo loft. I had had no previous interest in theater. Bob became a mentor, and I performed in and contributed text to several of his works." |
Ø "I received a Creative Artists Public Service Program grant in 1979, New York State Council on the Arts grants (1979-81) and NEA Grant (1980) for my productions. I spoke on avant garde theater to students and faculty of Smith College, Wagner College and Appalachian State University." |

"At 16, intrigued by music of The Mothers of Invention,
I wrote stream of consciousness letters to Frank Zappa.
He responded by phoning and inviting me to Christmas Eve Dinner at
his West Village (NY) apt, along with several “Mothers” and his
wife Gail. While there, he asked me to extemporize on the phone to a friend of
his in the off-beat way he had come to know of through my letters."

Ø "In
June 2000 I completed first cd of experimental vocals in collaboration with
composer Peter Girard – our group: Code One. Our cd: 14 Parts." |
Ø "In 1973 (at 21) I delivered an original multi-voice speech as the opening for Wilson’s 12 hour opera The Life & Times of Joseph Stalin (NY & Copenhagen), which speech is featured on the CD-ROM Robert Wilson: Visionary of Theater, to go online in 2001." |

"The more deeply I enter the artistic process, the more completely an inner web is woven out of key elements of the world as I know it and my life as I've lived it.
Trying things out, connecting with the self and others through sound, color, texture, movement, thought, memory, feeling, and intuition, and experimenting with diverse combinations thereof, collaborating with others of like minds and different stripes, asking questions with and about materials from the psyche and the sidewalk, the
army and the art store - drawing on these, one may find one's own language to express the
inexpressible."
