For six decades The Living Theatre has brought contemporary music of all genres to the public through its theater productions and related events such as concerts into the communities in which they have worked and have impacted literally countless people with exposure to new forms of art. "We are hoping to become a focal point for the expression of dissent and the innovation of peace. We also look forward to presenting the work of like-minded artists. And we will continue to bring our theatre into the streets at critical moments."
 

Over the past year, the Vision Festival has worked closely with Rise Up Creative Music and Arts (RUCMA), a new creative music organization founded in 2007. RUCMA is built around a grassroots coalition of musicians and music lovers who have united to address a variety of creative, political and practical concerns relating to New York's artistic culture. Most essential in this regard is a coordinated effort between both organizations to build an innovative new center for creative music and arts in Lower Manhattan. This proposed center would fulfill three essential needs within the New York music scene: 1) Provide a performance space for creative improvised music to replace the closure of Tonic at the hands of real estate developers, 2) Foster musical education programs geared towards improvisation to replace music programs that have been steadily cut from public schools, and 3) Interact closely with the community in an effort to reintegrate the arts as a central part of New York's historical and cultural legacy.

While these central goals are pursued, it is also the goal of both organizations to help maintain an ongoing presence for creative music in Lower Manhattan. To that end, the Living Theatre has agreed to host this series until the organization can procure a venue of its own, and Arts for Art is subsidizing the costs of organization. We are holding monthly benefits to help with the costs.

It is our hope that the Vision/RUCMA Series will convey our overriding message of the importance of creative arts in the heart of our community.

Performances will take place alternately on Friday and Saturday nights at 10:30pm and on Sunday at 8pm.

General admission: $10 / students & seniors: $7
