ABOUT
FourOneOne focuses on live events in an intimate space that makes informal and transformative relationships possible between performers and audiences.
Our approach centers performance as the embodied means of transmitting the experiential knowledge of communities across generations, geographies and social boundaries. We support performance practices rooted in the histories and lived realities of communities across the globe, whether from South Asia, the Caribbean, East Asia, North Africa, Latin America, Chicago's South Side, or the Bronx.
Our goal is to foreground, in New York City, these performance practices and their transmission, and to advance a rich conversation that emphasizes social context, history and the creative lives of communities over virtuosity, technique or individual genius.
We are committed to providing an equitable and open space for New York’s many audiences to engage with multiplicity and alternative approaches to time, space, and artistry.
Together, FourOneOne seeks to walk backwards into the future.
SPACE
FourOneOne is located at 411 Kent Ave. Broadway and South 8th Street in Brooklyn.
Our space will be temporarily closed for renovation between October 1, 2023 and March, 2026.
In the interim, our programming continues in partnership with various organizations and venues in New York.
