Collaborative Storytelling Theater

About Me

inLimen is a collaborative art group made up of Alex Chiu and Tom McDermott. inLimen began as an improvised, collaborative storytelling project but extended itself into recording projects, conversation as an artistic medium and live audio manipulation. inLimen has also lent itself to collaborating with other artists and friends and hopes to further this aspect of the project, as one of the main interests of inLimen is collaborating to make art. Through collaboration, the contributing artists create a piece that is its own, not an art piece that is tied to just a single person.

The storytelling aspect of inLimen explores the impulse and reaction within each performance, while the recording projects focus on using the recorded tracks as a medium that is an extension of the original form. During story telling performances, Alex and Tom begin, tell, and end the story told with no preconceived idea of what will be said. When errors or mishaps occur within a session, they become part of the piece, not something that is disregarded. Part of what is explored within the storytelling process is impulse and decision-making within the context of the imagined. Another part of what is explored is the projection of the imagined into an environment, mainly considering the others involved with each collaboration.

Stick around and see what we do. Check back often, we create new works every week!

At the moment you will either hear a lot of random music mixed in with inLimen tracks or nothing (since the stream will not be open all the time).
