For over 45 years La MaMa has passionately pursued its original mission to develop, nurture, support, produce and present new and original performance work by artists of all nations and cultures; they believe that in order to flourish, art needs the company of colleagues, the spirit of collaboration, the comfort of continuation, a public forum in which to be evaluated and fiscal support. La MaMa generously allowed us to stage our finale, from Megan Terry and Marianne De Pury's Viet Rock, in the lobby of the Annex on East 4th Street, and gave us suport and guidance throughout the East Village Fragments process.
In addition to being one of the oldest congregations in NYC, St. Mark's Church-in-the-Bowery has a long history of social and artistic service to the East Village community. We're grateful to them for welcoming us and for the help they were able to offer us on the East Village Fragments.
