About this user

Theater Mitu is a permanent group of collaborators that methodically experiments with theatrical form. We investigate the spiritual core of world performance traditions to create original work and re-envision classics. This is the foundation of our teaching and training methodology.

Founded in 1997, Theater Mitu has earned a wide reputation as an adventuresome and dynamic ensemble of artists. Under the leadership of artistic director Rubén Polendo, the Company is dedicated to transliterating a wide variety of performance traditions, exploring theatrical form, and supporting the creative growth of its members, who are at the creative core of each piece the Company produces. Its considerable body of work has taken on a variety of forms: developmental work with some of the world's leading theatrical innovators, productions in conjunction with universities and conservatories, outreach to non-theatrical communities, and research and training with its members.

Mitu's work has been developed and presented at American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco, the McCarter Theater in Princeton, NJ, the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles, The Alliance Theater in Atlanta, GA, The Ensemble Theater of Cincinnati, Patravadi Theater in Bangkok, Thailand, UNAM/CUT in Mexico City, The Perseverance Theater in Alaska, The Public Theater, Lincoln Center Theater, INTAR, Blue Light, The Juilliard School, New York University, NAATCO, The Skirball Center for the Performing Arts, Visthar Center for Social Justice and Peace in Bangalore, India, 3LD Art and Technology Center, and New York Theatre Workshop.

Mitu maintains a dynamic education program in which company members teach Mitu's Training Methodology called Whole Theater at several institutions including NYU, Juilliard, Bard College, Cincinnati Conservatory of Music, National University of Mexico and CUNY Graduate Program. The company also runs a yearly summer intensive in Bangkok, Thailand and has begun a similar program in Bangalore, India. Mitu also has a commitment to community outreach and has developed yearly programs and/or relationships with the Geneseo Migrant Worker Center in upstate New York, Albuquerque's Working Classroom and Columbia's School of Theology.
