Performance Space New York, formerly known as Performance Space 122, has been at the forefront of cultural, theoretical, and political discourse for over 40 years. Founded in 1980, it provided a platform for marginalized voices during a time of repressive government and the AIDS epidemic, and has since become a birthplace of contemporary performance. With a commitment to inclusivity, the organization presents interdisciplinary works that blur the boundaries of various art forms, from performance art and dance to theater, music, and technology.

Join Performance Space New York this spring as artists explore our shared history and envision a future through non-linear and queer temporal experiences. Through song, dance, and visionary forms of performance, audiences will be guided on a journey that challenges traditional narratives and embraces innovation.

Nice room and interesting shows We attended a sold out show on the 4th floor. The sightlines and sound were good. There is one large elevator and stairs. There is a small bar and sitting area.
