The Mussmann/Bruce Archive
Time & Space Limited Theatre Company
1973 - Present
1973 - Time & Space Limited is founded in New York City as an enclave of unconventional theatre. Its founders, Claudia Bruce and Linda Mussmann, mold narrative and language, visual spectacle, technology, sound design, and movement to challenge typical avenues of expression.
1991 - TSL relocates to Hudson, NY and is re-restablished in a former bread factory. Over three decades, Linda and Claudia slowly renovate the old bakery as they develop a unique home for the arts, open to everyone. All the while, they meticulously document and preserve all of their work.
2020 - The process of digitizing TSL’s catalogue begins, and the Archive is made public.
2021 - The process of ‘remixing’ the Archive begins, and a younger generation is given the opportunity to comb through thousands of hours of material in order to create short films that honor the spirit of TSL.
The Archive is an ongoing project, and this site represents only a fraction of the 100+ original works of theatre, film, and radio that TSL has produced. As the archivists continue to comb through the material, the site will be updated to reflect new discoveries.
