EVOLVE COMPANY is devoted to never quite doing the same thing twice.  Led by Tanya Khordoc and Barry Weil, they have been fixtures in the indie theater scene for the past decade, creating and performing works such as Becoming, Evolution, Brains & Puppets, Mercy, The Most Radiant Beauty: An Einsteinian Collage and Secrets History Remembers, which was featured at the Puppeteers of America National Festival in Atlanta in Summer 2009. They contributed puppets and models to Untitled Theater Company #61's adaptation of Kurt Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle, and were given the honor of creating the world premiere production of Motormorphosis, a play by former Czech President Václav Havel, as part of UTC #61's Havel Festival at the Ohio Theater in NYC. Most recently, they were awarded a 2011 Project Grant from the Jim Henson Foundation for their upcoming piece, Home.

TANYA KHORDOC (Co-Artistic Director) has performed, designed, and directed puppet theater at venues such as HERE, St. Ann’s Warehouse, the Puppeteers of America National Festival, the Eugene O’Neill National Puppetry Conference, and the Children's Museum of Manhattan. She has collaborated with Untitled Theater Co. #61 in the 24/7 Festival and on Unauthorized Magic in Oz. Tanya designed and performed a one-woman show written by Edward Einhorn about synesthesia, entitled The Taste of Blue. She also created stop-motion animation models for Henry Akona's production of Robert Lawson's Hiroshima: Crucible of Light.

BARRY WEIL (Co-Artistic Director) is an actor, playwright, director, filmmaker and graphic designer in addition to his work as a puppeteer and character creator. He has created puppets and masks for many NYC theatre productions, including Hope & Anchor, Unauthorized Magic in Oz, Screaming Shrubbery, Uktena, Funny as a Crutch, The Steampunk Haunted House, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? and Feast of the Dead. He has also inhabited the man-eating plant in so many productions of Little Shop of Horrors that he's starting to sprout leaves. When he's not performing or building, Barry is the assistant director/theatre coordinator for Levels, Long Island's acclaimed cultural center for teenagers.
