Since its founding in 2012, the members have explored many performances ranging from experimental gallery showings to street performances and more traditional two-act plays. We have collaborated with numerous contemporary composers, bands, and singers. Recently, Throes was part of HERE ARTS CENTER's summer sublet series, and was awarded a residency at La Mama Umbria International.
