Theatrical innovator Brian Routh remains steadfastly eclectic by BRIAN ROUTH, one half of the groundbreaking twosome known as the 'The Kipper Kids,' has stood solidly at the vanguard of the modern experimental theater world since the glory days of that amorphous art form's unsettling emergence in the early 1970s. From his unique perspective both as a revered performer and as a teacher of avant-garde theatrical methods--often termed "performance art," a label Routh finds misleading and pejorative--this deceptively soft-spoken Englishman has observed some awfully strange things. The Kipperkids have performed all over the universe since 1972, starting with the Munich Olympics. Brian Routh has collaborated with and shared the bill with: Henry Rollins, Lydia Lunch, Blue Man Group, Joanna Went, Los Lobos, Public Image, Sex Pistols, Herman Nitsch, Carolee Schneeman, Stuart Brisley, Derek Bailey, Evan Parker, Lynn Dobson, Lol Coxhill, Eric Bogosian, Keith Allen, Ian Hinchcliffe, Alien Comic, Karen Finley, Genesis P. Orridge, Anne Bean, Bow Gamelon, Paul Burwell, Bette Midler, David Cassidy, Leif Garret, Chuck Berry, Bay City Rollers, Ethel Eichelberger, Rolling Stones and George Melly. Among others.
