  • November 5th at Integrarte

    Our Inaugural Performance.

online PERFORMances

The founders and current Directors of Northeast Arts worked together informally during the pandemic to hone the skills necessary to take Northeast Arts on its next steps.

  • Discombobulated was commissioned by Regis College for live, online performance in early December 2020. Returning to in-studio rehearsals and collaborating with film-maker and professor Rui-Rui Zhang presented rich opportunities for artists to explore human interactions with one another and ourselves over the first six months of the pandemic. Discombobulated is a living work, able to evolve as our understandings of our world shift between virtual, physical, emotional and artistic realms.

  • These film productions in conjunction with Cambridge Symphony Orchestra, Metronome Films and youth dancers from City Youth Ballet of Boston, these short versions of the classics brought joy to audiences during quarantines of 2020.
