Mitch Corber is a New York City neo-Beat poet, an eccentric performance artist, and no wave videographer known for his rapid whimsically comical montage and collage style.
He has been associated with Collaborative Projects, Inc. (aka Colab), participated in Public Arts International/Free Speech and The Times Square Show,[1] and is creator-director of cable TV long-running weekly series Poetry Thin Air in New York City[2] and its on-line poetry/video archive.
[7] Despite its large cast in period costumes, the work is never made out to be a serious undertaking, with actors who interject scenes with self-conscious laughter, and deliver seemingly improvised lines with over the top bravado.
On August 24, 2006, Corber presented Cage Live Mix: Four Hours and 33 Minutes at A Gathering of the Tribes, impresario Steve Cannon's legendary venue.
It was a multi-screen, multi-speaker, multi-room, ambient music mix of John Cage: Man and Myth material, that included video, audio, interview, poetry and various inserts, some chance-oriented with some audience participation.
