In 1986, DANCENOISE premiered The Big Act at The Kitchen. The performance included show dancing and images from the cabaret, while employing bad humor and aggressive actions, commenting on mass media, consumerism, and gender issues. A chorus line of guest stars from the downtown scene, such as James Adlesic, Jo Andres, Steve Buscemi, Theresa Haney, Frank Maya, Michael Stiller, and Gayle Tufts joined DANCENOISE in this production.
