Off-Off-Broadway theater in Manhattan, New York City
The Incubator Arts Project was an Off-Off-Broadway theater located above St. Mark's Church-in-the-Bowery in the East Village of Manhattan, New York City.
History.
Ontological Theater (1992-2005).
In 1992, Richard Foreman founded the Ontological Theater at St. Marks as a home for his theater company, the Ontological-Hysteric Theater. The space hosted 18 of Foreman's original works, in addition to curating works by several emerging downtown theater companies and artists, including Radiohole, Elevator Repair Service, Nature Theater of Oklahoma, Richard Maxwell and Young Jean Lee.
Incubator (2005-2010).
The theater's many emerging artists programs were restructured in 2005 by artistic directors Morgan von Prelle Pecelli and Shannon Sindelar under the umbrella "Incubator," including a residency program for premieres, two annual music festivals, a regular concert series, a serial work-in-progress program called Short Form, and various roundtables and salons.
Incubator Arts Project (2010-2014).
In 2010, Richard Foreman's theater company left the theater at St. Marks, and the theater was renamed the Incubator Arts Project, led by director-producers Sindelar and Samara Naeymi, designer Peter Ksander, production manager Brendan Regimbal, and composer Travis Just. The newly formed company received a 2010 Obie Award grant and continued to curate a season of new emerging artists, through their New Performance Series, Short Form, Music, and an annual festival, Other Forces. Presented artists included Banana Bag &amp; Bodice, The Debate Society, Daniel Fish, Half Straddle, Hoi Polloi, Object Collection, Buran Theatre, Theater of a Two-Headed Calf, Vampire Cowboys, and Witness Relocation.
In early 2014, the Incubator Arts Project announced it would be closing on July 1, 2014. The former Incubator Arts space is now occupied by the offices and dance school of the New York Theater Ballet.
