Civis Hope Commissions
“Hope may seem daring in this age of angst and uncertainty, but it is at the heart of three major new works coming to the Fisher Center at Bard.” —The New York Times
The Fisher Center at Bard, in partnership with the Civis Foundation, establishes “The Civis Hope Commissions,” an endowed fund that will support, in perpetuity, the commissioning, development, and production of new performing arts works exploring the subject of hope—and announces first three commissions.
Performing Arts Lab
A NEW BUILDING DESIGNED BY MAYA LIN
Situated in meadows to the west of the Fisher Center and overlooking woodlands and the Catskill Mountains, the building will house rehearsal and teaching facilities for artists at all stages of their careers, including students from Bard’s undergraduate programs in Dance and Theater & Performance.
The Performing Arts Lab will also serve as the home for Fisher Center LAB, the center’s acclaimed residency and commissioning program for professional artists.
