The institution will welcome the public to its newly renovated, column-free facilities at 150 1st Avenue—custom-designed by Deborah Berke Partners for interdisciplinary performance—with its 2018 Coil Festival (January 10 – February 4, 2018). Performance Space 122 will then offer a series of performances focused on the East Village itself (including Performance Space 122’s own iconic history), re-anchoring the organization in the former public school building, and the now vastly-changed neighborhood where it was born in 1980.
