New YORK live arts strives to create a robust framework in support of the nation's dance and movement-based artists through new approaches of producing, presenting, and educating 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 CAFE. 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. With our audience, we seek to become a place for dance that is vital to the fabric of social and cultural life in new YORK, america, and beyond.
