Maxwell's Ads, a co-presentation with the Under the Radar Festival, will run Jan. 6-30, 2010. Maxwell and the NYC Players collaborate with Michael Schmelling and Wooster Group technical director Bozkurt Karasu on Ads, which "stages three-dimensional video recordings in the theater as theatre. Recorded speeches make the appeal for independence, displaying ideas and beliefs held up to be essential. Are we humble? Are we great? Can we begin to claim back space?"

The New York premiere of Jerk, from Gisèle Vienne, Jonathan Capdeville and Dennis Cooper of Puppet Glove Theatre, will run Jan. 7-17, 2010. Based on the text of Dennis Cooper, Jerk "is an imaginary reconstruction – strange, poetic, funny and somber – of the crimes perpetrated by American serial killer Dean Corll, who with the help of teenagers David Brooks and Wayne Henley, killed more than twenty boys in the state of Texas during the 70s."

Tom Creed and Raymond Scannell will present Mimic, from Jan. 6-17, 2010. "Performed at a grand piano by one of Ireland’s most exciting new theatrical voices, Mimic is a poetic and extraordinarily prescient solo performance about a culture in economic and spiritual collapse. A dark satire about imitation, authenticity, and what happens to a nation that leaves its heritage behind."

Rotozaza's Ant Hampton, Joji Koyama and Isambard Khroustaliov will offer GuruGuru, which will run Jan. 6-12, 2010. "Five participants enter a brightly lit room, there are five chairs positioned around a TV. A session begins, and as each audience member follows different instructions via headphones, they begin to understand 'who they are.' Proceedings are led by an on-screen, animated character - whose twin roles of marketing and spiritual Guru are confused by his reliance on untested and accident-prone technologies. The overproduced, digital sheen of our focus-group world cracks open into a colourful volcano of boiling absurdity. A hilarious chaos develops, exposing today's consumer-mad inability to distinguish between what we want, and what we need."

Edgar Oliver will perform his work East 10th Street: Portrait with Empty House, from Jan. 6-17, 2010. Oliver will take audiences on "a fantastic voyage through the strange rooms of the bizarre boarding house where he has lived since his first years in 1970's New York and wherein lie the secrets of his family and the unbelievable odyssey that brought him there. Inhabiting the dark, mysterious halls are a dwarf Cabalist, a possible Nazi, the landlord's former wet nurse who apparently lives in a nest of rags, and all too many others."

Morgan Thorson and Low will present the dance piece Heaven, which is set to run Jan. 7-12, 2010. "This reverential spectacle transfers the myth of perfection from the religious to the theatre world as a roving chorus of performers undertakes angelic choral singing and Thorson's uniquely dynamic choreography."

PS 122 will welcome the return of Americana Kamikaze, from Jan. 8-11, 2010. "Americana Kamikaze re-conjures vengeful spirits, impossible physical manipulations, elliptical storylines, creepy sound designs, equally creepy cinematography, and bizarrely happy endings. Performers are doubled by video doppelgangers in this East-meets-West psychological horror story that fractures reality and narrative beyond existence."

Lisa D'Amour, Katie Pearl and Emily Johnson offer Terrible Things, which will run Jan. 8-12, 2010. "Have you ever wondered if all those lives you've imagined yourself living are actually happening in a parallel world(s)? Terrible Things takes audiences on a T-R-I-P inside the many lives of Katie Pearl and her action-figure literary mom."

Maria Hassabi's dance work Solo, will be presented Jan. 11 and 12, 2010. Hasabi performs with a Persian carpet which "becomes, variously, a prop object, an outer skin, and architecture. These shifts describe the negotiation of desire in a dancing figure as it approaches visibility within the space of a given frame. This desire manifests itself as a changing temporal process, as complex and interwoven as the many patterns in the carpet."

Also presented will be Megan V. Sprenger and mvworks' dance installation …within us., which will run Jan. 6-9, 2010. "Set in a 360 degree hyper-intimate environment with audience members integrated among the performers ...within us. examines the human instincts that lay at the core of physical & emotional conflict and continues mvworks' investigation of kinetic transfer through movement."

Other productions presented in association with Coil include Chautauqua! (Jan. 7-17, 2010, at the Public Theater); Reid Farrington's Gin & "It" (Jan. 7-16, 2010, at 3LD Art & Technology Center); LeeSaar The Company's Prima (Jan. 7-10, 2010, at the Jewish Community Center); and WaxFactory's Blind.ness (Jan. 6-12, 2010, at Abrons Arts Center).
