	Encyclopedia: Dresser Industries
		Dresser Industries was a multinational corporation headquartered in Dallas, Texas, which provides a wide range of technology, products, and services used for developing energy and natural resources.
		Dresser created a "packer," using rubber for a tight fit, and after taking out a patent on May 11, 1880, he began advertising and selling his product, the Dresser Cap Packer, from Bradford, Pennsylvania, in the heart of the oilfields.
		Dresser's packer was one of many available on the market, and it was another invention that put his company on the map-- a coupling that he built in 1885 to join pipes together in such a way that they would not leak natural gas.

		The appliance is the direct descendant of the credence and the buffet, and is, indeed, a much more legitimate inheritor of their functions than the modern sideboard, which, as we know it, is practically an 18th-century invention.
		Its simple and agreeable form consisted of a long and rather narrow table or slab, with drawers or cupboards beneath and a tall upright closed-in back arranged with a varying number of shallow shelves for the reception of plates; hooks for mugs were often fixed upon the face of these shelves.
		The dresser is now most familiar as necessary plenishing of the kitchen, in which it is invariably a fixture.

	Christopher Dresser - Wikipédia
		Christopher Dresser, né le 4 juillet 1834 à Glasgow Écosse - mort le 24 novembre 1904 à Mulhouse, Alsace, France, est, avec William Morris, un des designers britanniques les plus importants de l'époque victorienne.
		Si les tapis et tapisseries de Dresser s'ornent de motifs botaniques, il n'utilise ces derniers qu'avec partimonie et uniquement quand le motif modifie l'essence de l'objet, ce qui n'est guère dans les goûts de son époque, très prolixe en feuillages et motifs floraux purement décoratifs.
		Dresser fut par la suite un importateur reconnu d'objets décoratifs japonais.

	Mark Dresser and the new avant-garde
		As heard on Dresser's "Eye'll Be Seeing You" (Knitting Factory), his music ranges from atonal bass squeaks atop Cecil Taylor-like piano chord clusters to poignant folk-like melodies for trio of bowed bass, clarinet and piano to eerie sound effects to funereal organ lines to breezy, Sonny Rollins-like calypso.
		Rather, it's the utter logic of the approach, the ease with which the composer melds the styles together, to the point where style or genre disappear, and all that's left are melody, texture and narrative statement in the overall service of mood, form and beauty.
		Dresser, like Zorn, Coleman, and other like-minded avant-gardists, including Frank London ("The Debt"), Phillip Johnston ("Music for Films") and Gary Lucas ("The Golem"), is drawn to the challenge of scoring improvisational music for film precisely for the creative tension imposed by the film's narrative structure.

	Mark Dresser Trio at Mass MoCA
		Like Bunuel and Dali did in their chosen form, Dresser and his trio take the raw tools of their chosen form, in this case the musical instruments and the basic rules of composition and improvisation, and explode and invert them to explore what’s typically hidden or overlooked in performance and composition.
		Dresser was an aggressive soloist, leaning into his instrument, spinning it and dancing with it, slapping it, stroking it, chording it, pulling the strings and singing with it.
		Dresser’s score tended to underline the visual content, suggesting either character’s inner emotional states or commenting on action when something of dramatic impact took place.

	BBC - Gloucestershire Going Out - The Dresser
		But with thirty minutes to curtain-up, the ageing martinet is already blighted by severe stagefright, and dresser Norman must rally his beleaguered boss and get him ready for his first entrance, whilst constantly having to remind him of his opening lines.
		For it is Norman who has been a rock for him to cling to throughout 16 years, assisting with his make-up, doing his laundry, preparing his costumes and playing agony aunt to the fading star whose grip on sanity is becoming increasingly precarious.
		Touching, often hilarious - the opening moments of the second act, especially the wonderful storm scene, will strike a chord with anyone who has ever worked backstage - yet at times grimly realistic and sad, this production is a showcase for the finest theatrical talents in the country today.

		Kilmurry is scraping the rust off of her acting skills for "The Dresser." It has been more than five years since she has appeared in anything more than a staged reading.

		The Dresser is a must for anyone who loves the theater or fine acting.
