MABOU MINES, New York City, received a two-year grant of $60,000 in support of the Suite Resident Artist Program for emerging artists based in New York City. Mabou Mines is an artist-driven experimental theatre collective generating original works and re-imagined adaptations of classic plays through multi-disciplinary, technologically inventive collaborations among its members and a wide range of contemporary composers, writers, musicians, puppeteers, and visual artists. The Mabou Mines/Suite Resident Artist Program, established in 1991, is a laboratory for experimenting with performance ideas, developed with the particular needs of emerging artists in mind. Suite is open to small companies and individual artists in all fields, anyone with compelling performance ideas in need of investigation. Each emerging artist receives mentoring, rehearsal space, a stipend, and a public showing of the work at the conclusion of the residency. The program operates on the belief that process-focused development is the best way to create original work, and that the opportunity to work in this way can prove crucial to an artist’s career.
