Bark of Millions, Taylor Mac and Matt Ray's epic rock meditation on queerness produced by Pomegranate Arts, opened this week at BAM and runs through Saturday. We are proud to have been part of its journey through the company's three-week development residency at Irish Arts Center last August.
Through such residencies and collaborations, co-commissions and co-presentations, we are delighted to champion the work of partners and peers across the arts landscape. Here are some of their exciting, inspiring programs this season.
