SEEDS is a platform for professional creative companies to present quality pieces and works in progress, spanning the realms of Circus Arts, Dance, Theatre, Live Music, Projection, and Performance Art. Fostering a foundation of experimentation and growth within the New York community, SEEDS creates connections between cutting-edge companies seeking sustainable structure and growth. SEEDS values the cultivation of collaborations and relationships that bring individual artists together to make work that pushes the potential of each individual collective towards exponential evolution, embracing the Hybrid Movement Philosophy that together we are more than the sum of our parts.
The concept of 'Seeds' was born in a Brooklyn hallway. In short, a group of NYC based artists collectively created a performance platform which seeks other creatives to together look at things from a different vantage point and share their work: Dancers, Circus performers, Vocalists, Musicians, Actors, Mimes, Poets, Artists, Architects, adventurers of all kinds and smart asses of all natures.
Seeds is a new program focussed on supporting the development of new works or works in progress, shaping relationships among artists, artworks, performance spaces, community audiences, and the performance forum for presenting, expressing and sharing creative developments. It aims to highlight and cultivate the wealth of high caliber talent here in New York.
Creators adore subverting the status quo, deconstructing common perceptions, and rebuilding things all over again in their own ways.
On creativity "We have to continually be jumping off cliffs and developing our wings on the way down." Kurt Vonnegut.
*** note : visual art by performing artists is for sale; 20% of all proceeds go towards continuing professional education in the Arts ***
