RAMP is Performance Space 122’s residency program designed to foster the creation of ambitious new work from New York City-based emerging artists working across genres, perspectives and cultures. With this residency, PS122 not only provides the space needed to work but also technical assistance, commissioning fees, marketing support as well as the confidence to make bold moves in new directions. PS122 works closely with our artists to fully realize the life cycle of the work from conception through presentation and the possibilities beyond.
For over 35 years, PS122 has been a hub for contemporary performance and an active member of New York City’s cultural community through their continued support of brave new works by some of the city’s most talented and ambitious performance makers and PS122’s core activities of providing audiences with live experiences that spark imaginations and foster a shared appreciation for inquiry, difference and contemporary culture.
Each residency will culminate with a public showing. Tickets, priced at $5, can be purchased 2 weeks before each showing by clicking on the artist page below.
