About ArKtype

ArKtype was established in 2006 to support the finest in emerging and established domestic and internationally based artists. We support risk in live performance – creating an ever-shifting mechanism for the fulfillment of artists’ visions for new work, international collaboration, production and touring. The company has grown to encompass renowned artists from twenty different countries, multiple genres and commercial and non-profit support structures for a variety of spaces. Realizing the infrastructural demands of the artist in an environment of limited funding and financial support for creative endeavors, ArKtype aims to balance infrastructural support with creative growth, allowing the artist a long-term relationship with a producing entity based on establishing the artist’s continued presence in the national and international regional theater and arts presenter communities. The company’s past work in the U.S. and abroad includes projects with Brooklyn Academy of Music, Lincoln Center Theater, New York Theatre Workshop, Market Theatre (Johannesburg), Hartford Stage Company, Barbican Centre, Oxford Playhouse, Noorderzon Festival, Performance Space 122 (Fresh Terrain Festival of Performance Theater, Austin, TX), Chicago Shakespeare Theater, Berkeley Rep, Actors Theater of Louisville, Center Theatre Group / Mark Taper Forum, Apollo Theater, NYU/Skirball Center for the Performing Arts, Bouffes du Nord and The Kitchen, among many others. Upcoming premieres include Jessica Black & Erik Jensen’s HOW TO BE A ROCK CRITIC (Spring 2015), Byron Au Yong & Aaron Jafferis’ TRIGGER (Fall 2016), Andrew Ondrejcak’s ELIJAH GREEN and KINGS OF MACEDONIA w/ Shara Worden (2015-16) and Object Collection’s IT’S ALL TRUE based on the live works of seminal punk band Fugazi (2015-16).
