Radiohole Receives 2009 Spalding Gray Award

Performance Space 122 has announced that Radiohole is the recipient of the third Spalding Gray Award, a special commission created in Spalding Gray’s honor by Performance Space 122, together with Kathleen Russo, UCLA Live, and The Walker Arts Center.

As part of the award, Radiohole will receive a full production in the 2009-10 seasons at P.S. 122 and The Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, as well as a stipend for its creation. The announcement was made at a PS 122 performance of the National Theater of the United States of America’s Chautauqua! (NTUSA was the the 2007 recipient of the award.) The Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh was also announced as a partner in the award.

Radiohole was founded in 1998 by Erin Douglass, Eric Dyer, Maggie Hoffman, and Scott Halverson Gillette. Their productions include Anger/Nation, Fluke, Radiohole Is Still My Name, Wurst, and Bend Your Mind Off. Along with the Collapsable Giraffe, the company converted a former auto body shop into the Williamsburg performance space, The Collapsable Hole.
