Founded in a Tribeca loft in 1978 as a laboratory and performance space where creative trailblazers and curious thinkers could share perspectives on current conversations, Roulette has grown into an internationally acclaimed 501c3 presenting organization, showcasing 120+ performances of experimental music, movement, and media each year and alongside an additional 150+ community and rental events in its 12,000-sq-ft state-of-the-art theater in Downtown Brooklyn.
Roulette’s mission is to support artists and present performances of innovative music, movement, and media art; build audiences interested in experiencing new work; and trace the evolution of experimental performance in a freely accessible public archive.
The primary ways that Roulette pursues its mission is by presenting and platforming artists whose work confounds expectations–with a focus on new and unusual work by living composers and performers–and using its extensive archive to highlight and contextualize historic work by significant artists, especially those who have been excluded due to systemic oppression.
