For over two decades, MASS MoCA has nurtured the development of new performance work — especially concepts that require lighting and sound, generous spaces, and extended rehearsal time with a live audience — by offering professional infrastructure and top-notch support and facilities.
Over 500 artists have participated in extensive artist-in-residence and technical workshops including Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company, William Kentridge, Helga Davis, Laurie Anderson, David Byrne/Fatboy Slim/Annie B. Parson, and many others. Artists are selected as an extension of the museum’s curatorial ethos and do not have a scheduled application process.
