Explanation
FORM 990, PART 1
DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION MISSION: New York Live Arts is an internationally recognized destination for innovative live performance located in the heart of Chelsea in New York City. World-renowned choreographer, dancer, theater director, and writer, Artistic Director Bill T. Jones leads our mission to offer audiences access to art and artists notable for their conceptual rigor, formal experimentation, and active engagement with the social, political, and cultural currents of our times.
FORM 990, PART III, Lines 1 and 4a-e
LINE 1, DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION MISSION: New York Live Arts has grown from the 2011 merger of Dance Theater Workshop and Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company, creating a singular entity that is simultaneously a preeminent presentation venue and home to one of the most acclaimed and powerful forces in the modern dance world. Live Arts commissions, produces, and presents performances in our 20,000 square foot home, which includes a 184-seat theater, two 1,200 square foot studios, and communal space in the lobby and caf. Live Arts serves as home base for the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company, provides an extensive range of participatory programs for adults and young people, and supports the continuing professional development of artists. LINE 4A, PRESENT: New York Live Arts had a critically acclaimed 2013-2014 season including three Bessie award nominations among eight commissioned artists and 21 main stage presentations. The season presentations, including Studio Series and Live Ideas brought in an audience of nearly 20,000 to Live Arts. The Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company toured nationally and internationally, bringing its work to approximately 50,000 audience members. The company's 33rd year brought it internationally to Poland and Taiwan, and to 11 states in North America including Florida, New York, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Virginia, Illinois, and California. LINE 4B, CREATE: In FY14, New York Live Arts fulfilled its mission to remain an internationally recognized destination for innovative movement-based artistry and performance, for artists at all stages of their careers. New York Live Arts commissioned new work from some of the most forward-thinking independent artists of our time, including Donna Uchizono Company, Niv Acosta, Tess Dworman, Elena Demyanenko and Dai Jian, Kimberly Bartosik, Cynthia Hopkins, Beth Gill, Luciana Achugar, John Jasperse. Along with performance fees, each commissioned artist enjoyed a week-long technical residency in New York Live Arts theater. New York Live Arts' second resident commissioned artist, Kyle Abraham, began his residency and the development of his new work. Fresh Tracks, our signature program for emerging choreographers, offered young artists presenting opportunities in a festival setting, and the Studio Series offered emerging and mid-career artists selected by the Live Arts curatorial staff 100 hours of rehearsal time, culminating in an informal public workshop and discussion of a work in progress. LINE 4C, ENGAGE: New York Live Arts continued our Live Ideas festival, conceived to advance Bill T. Jones' vision for Live Arts as an organization dedicated to exploring the intersections of dance, movement, and live performance as a means to engage the most vital cultural and intellectual currents of our time. Events in the festival contain both artistic and social/cultural components, providing different perspectives and new insights across disciplines. Our second Live Ideas season, James Baldwin, This Time, ran from April 23-27, 2014, exploring the work of the great American essayist, novelist, playwright, poet, and activist James Baldwin as part of the Year of Baldwin, a partnership between New York Live Arts, Harlem Stage, Columbia University School of the Arts, and more. The festival featured 19 programs, including panels, readings, performances, and installations examining the continued impact of the author's conversations at the intersection of class, race, sex, and violence. Over the course of the week, Live Ideas welcomed over 70 artists, panelists and lecturers, and close to 2,500 audience members to our spaces, as well as archiving readings and panels on New York Live Arts' YouTube channel, to extend our reach and bring in new audiences in the future. Live Arts also provides a range of opportunities for artists to create at every level of their career: The Resident Commissioned Artist Program (RCA) is one of the U.S.'s most substantial and prestigious choreographer awards for a mid-career artist. The program includes two years of full time salary plus healthcare benefits and a commission for a new work that is produced by and premiered at Live Arts before touring nationally. The Studio Series offers emerging and mid-career artists selected by the Live Arts curatorial staff 100 hours of rehearsal time, culminating in two informal public showings of a work-in-progress, followed by moderated discussions. Fresh Tracks, our signature program for emerging choreographers, offers younger, early-career artists opportunities to showcase their work under the mentorship of Live Arts. Fresh Tracks artists receive development support for a short work and are presented on our main stage in a sole evening dedicated to the six artists. New York Live Arts' Associate Artist Program is dedicated to providing artists with the tools, support, and professional development they need to truly excel. The program draws on the resources of the institution to make it possible for artists to connect with larger audiences, raise funds to support their work, and augment the visibility of dance in New York. Enrollment is an affordable $100 for full unlimited access to the program's offerings, which include marketing services, inclusion in Live Arts e-blasts and print programs, development and fundraising guidance, ticket discounts, and access to master-classes and workshops. New York Live Arts also continued Shared Practice, a master-class program where Live Arts season artists share the physical and creative practices behind their work. Finally, through subsidized studio hour support, we annually offer artists over 3,000 low-cost hours for rehearsal and presentation in our two studios.
