Since 1993, HERE has supported multidisciplinary work that does not fit into a conventional programming agenda. Our aesthetic represents the independent, the innovative, and the experimental: HERE has developed such acclaimed works as Eve Ensler's The Vagina Monologues; Basil Twist's Symphonie Fantastique; Trey Lyford & Geoff Sobelle's all wear bowlers; and Young Jean Lee's Songs of the Dragons Flying to Heaven.
HERE supports the work of mid-career artists working in hybrid theatrical forms through commissions, subsidized performance and rehearsal space, works-in-progress, workshop productions and fully-produced works. At present the primary focus of HERE is the work of its HARP (HERE Artistic Residency Program) Artists who partake of a one- to three-year residency.
The New York Times has called HERE "one of the most unusual arts spaces in New York and possibly the model for the cutting-edge arts spaces of tomorrow." We aim to integrate art into daily life and engage our community's needs and interests on as many different levels as possible in order to ensure our regular presence in their lives.

Joey Arias is a New York based performance artist, cabaret singer, and drag queen. After singing in Rock Bands, he became a Groundling, then became well know in the NY performance/club scene on the 1970s and 1980s, based on his talent for "channeling" Billie Holiday. He has recorded many albums of his music and famously played Joan Crawford in Christmas at the Crawford's; he is also well-known to independent-film audiences in such films as Mondo New York and Wigstock: The Movie. His most recent work was his role as Mistress of Seduction in Zumanity, an adult themed show for Cirque du Soleil. His latest act with Basil Twist, Arias with a Twist (June 12 - July 13, 2008), represents his return to New York performing after a hiatus of several years.
