THEATER FOR THE NEW CITY
Crystal Field, Executive Director presents
TILTED AXES: Circle With No Center
Movements for Mobile Electric Guitars
October 2–5, 2025 | New York City
NEW YORK, NY — Crystal Field, Executive Director of Theater for the New City, proudly presents Tilted Axes: Circle With No Center, a groundbreaking theatrical event combining music, movement, and visuals. Performances take place Thursday, October 2 through Sunday, October 5, 2025 at Theater for the New City, 155 First Avenue, New York City.
Circle With No Center transforms the stage into a dynamic landscape where musicians playing mobile electric guitars and percussion move in choreographed formations, weaving intricate sonic textures that blur the lines between concert, dance, and immersive theater. Created by composer and performer Patrick Grant, the work invites audiences to experience music as a living, breathing environment — part ritual, part procession, and entirely unlike anything else currently on the New York stage.

They will premiere a new piece, “Strawberry Solstice” and well as some surprises, it’s a tilted tradition.

It was fun watching the passerby moods change during our electric version of Satie’s “Vexations” (heavily abridged) on 23rd St. & Broadway at high noon today. It went from bewilderment to anger to laughter to bliss and beyond. Little children danced. — photo: Leslie Stevens

Part of Make Music New York — Make Music Winter 2023
Tilted Axes: Music for Mobile Electric Guitars, led by composer and performer Patrick Grant, is an orchestra of guitarists who perform original, untethered music via portable mini-amps accompanied by percussionists. The project is informed by urban street band traditions, avant-garde theater and ancient music, and creates interactive spectacles that spark community conversation. The program includes three numbers — “Standing Still,” “Tiltinnabulation,” and Philip Glass’ “Knee Play 3” from Einstein on the Beach — with participatory handbell roles to transform the audience into music makers, no experience necessary. Presented in partnership with BXP.
