Well, we did it.

We managed to get through a full season of thoughtful, rigorous, multifarious, multi-everything premiere performances at our new permanent forever home (and a few other places), for audiences comprised of living, breathing human beings in real time and space. Wow.

Aya Ogawa. AUNTS. Sibyl Kempson. luciana achugar. aden. James Allister Sprang. Justin Allen. TYGAPAW. Justin Cabrillos. Jon Kinzel. Donna Uchizono. Laurie Berg. Larissa Velez-Jackson. Japan Society. Flux Factory. ISSUE Project Room. Abrons Arts Center. NYU Skirball. PICA. Baryshnikov Arts Center.

Each of these astonishing artists and partner organizations were willing guinea pigs in a weird experiment: to inaugurate a space that was almost-but-not-quite-ready to be inaugurated. And each of them delivered in ways that were personal, surprising, messy, undefinable, and perfectly imperfect.

In other words: we did a lot, and we learned a lot.

Please help us to do more, and learn more, with a gift of any size. Recurring donations are especially meaningful; but anything (and everything) is immensely helpful, and appreciated.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS
