Dixon Place is a theater organization located in New York City dedicated to the development of works-in-progess from a broad range of performers and artists. It exists to serve the creative needs of artists—emerging, mid-career and established—who are creating new work in theater, dance, music, literature, puppetry, performance, variety and visual arts.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dixon Place )〕 Many well-known artists, including Ivy Baldwin,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ivy Baldwin Dance - American Dance Institute )〕 Blue Man Group, Laura Peterson,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Laura Peterson Choreography )〕 Monica Bill Barnes,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Monica Bill Barnes + Company )〕 John Leguizamo, Lisa Kron, David Cale, Jane Comfort, Risa Jaroslow, Penny Arcade, Katy Pyle, Peggy Shaw, Douglas Dunn, Deb Margolin and Reno, began their careers at Dixon Place.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dixon Place, A Place that Matters – The Municipal Art Society of New York )〕 Dixon Place offers 14 shows a week, 7–8 commissions a year, and more than 20 different programs across artistic disciplines, featuring work by more than 1,500 emerging and established artists each year. All artists presenting work in Dixon Place’s main-stage programs receive compensation, from work-in-progress showings to artists-in-residence and commissioned artists.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=mission/history )〕 ==History== Dixon Place was founded in 1985 by Artistic Director Ellie Covan. After starting Dixon Place as a salon in her Paris apartment in the summer of 1985, Covan re-launched the endeavor in her East Village living room the following year. Her apartment was half of a storefront; she set up folding chairs for audiences and sold drinks and snacks to defray her expenses.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=THEATER - Dixon Place, a Real Home for Theater, May Be the Last of a Breed - NYTimes.com )〕 After 5 years at the East Village location, Dixon Place needed to expand. In order to accommodate a growing audience, Dixon Place moved to a larger space on the Bowery in 1991. The loft also served as living space for Covan.〔http://www.nytimes.com/2004/09/26/realestate/26HABI.html〕 Expanded programming, along with an increased staff and audience, prompted another move in 1999, when Dixon Place became the resident company at the Vineyard Theater’s 26th Street space.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NYC's Dixon Place Moves Into Old Vineyard Theatre )〕 Success in this professional environment led to the decision to secure a permanent home. In 2002, in partnership with a dedicated Board and a forward-thinking developer, Dixon Place purchased an industrial space on Chrystie Street in Lower Manhattan. After a 6-year capital project, Dixon Place's state-of-the-art laboratory theater and lounge, featuring expanded amenities for artists and audiences and new earned income for Dixon Place, had its Grand Opening in December 2009.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=New venue: Dixon Place finally gets its official grand opening )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dixon Place」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
