“Witty, brooding, contemplative, explosive: take your pick.”
— Margo Jefferson, NY Times Theater Critic
“Completely seductive…you leave feeling as if you’ve just been given a shot of serotonin.”
— Susan Daitch
FLASHPOINT/nyc is a group of four writers, a jazz composer/upright bassist, and an ever-shifting cast of guest and visiting artists. The critically-acclaimed ensemble performs all new, original works – everything under three minutes, unfolding within a responsive sonic landscape. Part improvisation, part call-and-response, FLASHPOINT invites audiences into the experience of words, music, and an entirely new form of live storytelling. Each performance unveils new surprises in an original and authentic format that is overwhelmingly refreshing.
