Mission Statement
The New York Neo-Futurists are a radically dynamic ensemble of multidisciplinary artists who write and perform original work rooted in the truth of our own lived experiences. We fuse elements of poetry, game, and performance art to create ever-changing theatre and other artistic experiments to respond to the world around us.
About This Cause
Since opening in Brooklyn in 2004 the New York Neo-Futurists have premiered over 6,000 plays and have become a downtown New York institution. Traditionally performing every weekend from 2004-2020, we shifted to digital work in March of 2020, and have been a stalwart presence in the Off-Off Broadway community with their variety shows of short plays and full-length productions, having won numerous Innovative Theatre Awards and Drama Desk nominations. Our plays are interactive, immediate, and irreproducible, presented with our signature energy and sincerity. We embrace those unreached or unmoved by conventional theater-inspiring them to thought, feeling, and action. As a group, we are dedicated to: Strengthening the human bond between performer and audience. We feel that the more sincere and genuine we can be on stage, the greater the audience’s identification with the people and issues before them. Providing an incubator for a variety of unique voices and empowering dynamic collaborations among diverse artists. Experimenting in forms of non-illusory theater in order to present our lives and ideas as directly as possible. All of our plays are set on the stage in front of the audience. All of our characters are ourselves. All of our stories really happened. All of our tasks are actual challenges. We do not aim to “suspend the audience’s disbelief,” but to create a world where the stage is a continuation of daily life. Embracing the moment through audience interaction and planned obsolescence. In order to keep ourselves as alive on stage as possible, we interweave elements of chance and change — contradicting the expected and eliminating the permanent. Striving to keep our ticket prices affordable and our productions intellectually and emotionally challenging yet accessible. The Neo-Futurist aim to create an unreproducible living newspaper of the comic and tragic, the political and personal, the visceral and experimental.
