Woody: “The Kitchen was a live audience test laboratory (LATL), sometimes with practical purposes, like testing a new microphones system or an interactive environment … It was taken over by the needs of the New York scene. We were not dogmatic about it, so the Kitchen became a presentation space for performance, dance, music, theater, and video. Video was always there but it was not dominant. There were open screenings each week … There was almost a religion about disseminating information … it was an activist period. Everyone was trying to disclose the utmost secrets of systems, systems thinking and performance.”
