Our strategic plan with McMillan wrapped in October and included: the creation of robust cash flow tools to reach long-term financial goals, we also clarified Producing Artistic Leader job descriptions, identified two new positions (Part-time General Manager and Project Manager/Producer) who we plan to hire in 2026, and built an interactive road map with action items to reach our long-term financial and organizational goals. We found many folks in our community were in need of unabashed connection and joy in early 2025. In response, we hosted a series of dance parties and community gatherings titled JOYFUL DEFIANCE. Two at Harlem mainstay Silvana and one in partnership with Playwrights Horizons and Soho Rep in June. We continued our work with our NYSCA-commissioned playwright, Sam Hamashima, on their new play TAMAGO. Under the direction of Nicholas Polonio, and featuring actors Alex Gibson and Daniel Liu, Hamashima explored their science fiction world of transracial surgery and queer envy, ending in a 29-hour workshop that was attended by an at-capacity audience at Playwrights Horizons, including many first-time Movement attendees. We also continued development on Eric Lockleys SWEET CHARIOT, pairing Eric with a dramaturg to consider the bigger picture of the piece as we work towards a script and design workshop in 2026.This fall we co-produced MEXODUS with P3 Productions & Audible theater and THE ESSENTIALISNT with HERE Arts Center. MEXODUS, a live-looping hip-hop musical written and performed by Brian Quijada and Nygel D. Robinson and directed by Producing Artistic Leader, David Mendizbal, told the story of the underground railroad that went south through Mexico. In addition to providing financial resources, strategizing with the lead producers around audience development, hosting special events, and organizing a student matinee for over 250 NYC public school students, we provided integral creative support to Mendizbal. THE ESSENTIALISNT written, performed and directed by Eisa Davis asks the provocative question Can you be Black and not perform. Davis takes the audience on a journey from the shores of Africa to the depths of the modern-day Black femme experience through song, video, and captivating plunges into a Davis-sized water tank. Supporting one of Davis most personal and genre-bending works with values-aligned organization, HERE Arts Center, highlighted the importance of being in relationship with work over timefollowing artists and projects through their development and stepping in when we can make meaningful impact.We also participated in the nationwide activation FALL OF FREEDOM and hosted SONGS OF FREEDOM in collaboration with Troy Anthony & The Fire Ensemble, Creative Legacy Project, The Peoples Theater and EMERGE125, all uptown BIPOC arts organizations at El Barrios ArtSpace PS109. 152003 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 20 0 true 4 true false false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false X 9 7 false false false false false false false true false false false true true true true true false true true false NY X X Deadria Harrington 9522400274 279 W 117th St 2Q New York NY 100262111 Deadria Harrington President 35.00 0.00 X X 85200 0 0 Eric Lockley Treasurer 10.00 0.00 X X 36750 0 0 Lisa Cleff Kurtz Board member 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jodie Gerard Board member 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Harrison David Rivers Board member 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 William Zichawo Board member 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Karen L Hsueh Board member 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Rachel Lockett Board member 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 David Mendizabal Board member 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 121950 0 false false false 0 -217 87910 497034 584727 Co-production income 711110 4501 4501 4501 353 26 327 0 0 0 0 1923 -217 1923 0 0 0 Concession 711110 10 10 Miscellaneous 711110 3184 3184 3194 592775 7721 327 X 0 0 0 0 121950 40260 45105 36585 0 42000 20730 10635 10635 0 1339 840 270 229 13710 5099 4663 3948 0 0 6050 6050 0 0 0 84190 23016 31229 29945 3323 3323 17250 10035 5335 1880 0 0 4439 4439 0 0 0 0 0 457 171 155 131 4880 4880 Production costs 37309 37309 Bank and credit card charges 1690 632 573 485 Postage and Shipping 892 892 Dues and subscriptions 665 665 907 604 303 341051 152003 104318 84730 15012 107965 79018 130473 70088 73910 1201 0 0 0 0 3185 3374 1520 508 869 1012 100087 0 0 0 200 168172 418222 10573 8899 10573 8899 X 38448 98533 119151 310790 157599 409323 168172 418222 251724 X true X false false false X 179869 438225 181113 272047 585727 1656981 7280 30877 1480 4501 44138 0 0 0 187149 438225 211990 273527 590228 1701119 29100 20138 30979 54189 25035 159441 0 29100 20138 30979 54189 25035 159441 1541678 45 963 129 353 1490 0 45 963 129 353 1490 0 1025 8944 445 3194 13608 188174 438270 221897 274101 593775 1716217 0.89830 0.87630 0.00090 0.00090 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 1520 508 1012 1012 X Part X : FIN48 Footnote The Organization is a not-for-profit corporation exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and has been designated as a corporation which is not a private foundation.
