APEX Festival is a collective, artistic activation of the HERE Arts Center by graduating MFA Contemporary Theatre and Performance students. Ten distinct projects presented over three weeks serve as each student's capstone offering, as well as a public introduction to their work as it exists at this stage in their development. In celebration, the School of Drama invites The New School community, communities surrounding The New School, and communities beyond to experience a collection of performative artworks that push the boundaries of discipline and form.

"The 2024 APEX Festival is a thrilling step toward our new MFA program in Contemporary Theatre and Performance becoming an established one. The variety exhibited among the works demonstrates the interdisciplinary focus of our program with students drawing from the worlds of dramatic literature, dance and movement, devised theatre, performance art, cinema, and more. Our first graduating cohort is setting the bar for future cohorts to meet. The level of ingenuity the students in our current cohort have shown throughout the APEX process has been astounding. The opening of the APEX Festival is incredibly special!"

-Cara Hagan, Associate Professor and Program Director, MFA Contemporary Theatre and Performance
