The February Radio Drama was an ongoing radio project produced by The Constant Reality Theater—an Icelandic company founded by the visual artists Ásdís Sif Gunnarsdóttir and Ragnar Kjartansson and musician Davíð Þór Jónsson. It was in production starting on February 10, 2010 at the Watermill Center as part of its residency program, with Ásdís as the writer, Davíð the sound producer, Ragnar the choreographer, and all three as the actors.
The February Radio Drama broadcast daily at the Watermill Center through Art International Radio (AIR)'s website. The project was realized in collaboration with the Clocktower Gallery and ARTonAIR.org in Lower Manhattan, founded by PS1 founding director and Watermill Center Selection Committee member Alanna Heiss.

 The Constant Reality Theater is a group of Icelandic artists that we were considering for a two to three week residency in the Living Studio. Ragnar Kjartansson could also perform in the performance platform. We were inspired by the above residency and the Soiree Retreat that they organized at Banff, 2011.

We were also considering asking them to send a kit for the Living Studio, if it isn't  feasible for them to physically be in residence.
