In the performing arts program, hundreds of projects have been created, advanced, and realized during developmental residencies, where artists-in-residence in all performances disciplines are given space, time, and technical support to bring their projects to the next stage of development. Much of the work MASS MoCA presents in its light-filled spaces, on its technically sophisticated stages, and within its beautiful network of courtyards is actually made on site.įor visual arts, this happens during extended fabrication residencies for artists whose work is shown in the galleries. Performing arts are integral to MASS MoCA’s mission, and more than 40 weekends every year are devoted to live events.
The museum is the perfect lens through which to explore the dynamic interaction between artistic disciplines, and a singular incubator for creative development. With vast galleries and a stunning collection of indoor and outdoor performing arts venues, MASS MoCA is able to embrace all forms of art: music, sculpture, dance, film, painting, photography, theater, and new, boundary-crossing works of art that defy easy classification. Moving into the closed and abandoned Sprague Electric plant and helping to revitalize a flagging North Adams and its surrounding region, it has become one of the world’s great examples of art and culture’s capacity to act as both an economic engine and a vital element of healthy communities. Housed in a unique complex of renovated 19th Century factory buildings in western Massachusetts, MASS MoCA is one of the world’s liveliest centers for making and enjoying today’s most evocative art.

THE OFFICE is the Curator of Performing Arts and Film at MASS MoCA (the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art), where we developed a robust performing arts program to complement the institution’s visual arts work and have programmed a year-round series of dance, music, theater, and documentary film in multiple venues on the museum campus since its opening in 1999.
