HOW TO GET STARTED
A great first step to booking Performances with Young Audiences New York is to speak with one of our programming specialists so that we can more clearly understand your circumstances and restrictions. We pride ourselves on approaching each school and each educator as an individual. Give us a call at 212-319-9269 or email us at info@yany.org and let’s discuss how yaNY can make a difference for your students.
Our programs do receive some support from corporate, private and public sponsors but unfortunately not enough that we can offer them free to educators. Performance prices vary due to the customizable nature of each program. Rest assured that Young Audiences NY Staff will do our best to help bring as much yaNY programming to your school regardless of your budget, from $200 to $2,000.
Individual artists, performance ensembles and specific programs are available on a first-come first-served basis. In order to book the performer or ensemble of your choice, please schedule early.
The best way to improve the impact of a performance is with a post-show workshop or an extended residency where your students can take the skills and art they’ve seen and put them into practice. We offer special combination performance/residency packages.
ADDITIONAL INFO:
Prior to the beginning of any program, Young Audiences New York must receive a work and purchase order for the full amount of the scheduled program activities from the school. Confirmation of Engagement form, a contact of the staff member who should receive our invoice and any additional paperwork must be completed for payment from sources other than New York City Public Schools.
It is Young Audiences’ policy that a teacher, school employee or other responsible adult representing the site must be present in the room or performance area at all times during the program. Artists have the right to refuse to conduct a program if an appropriate number of staff persons are not in attendance. Artists reserve the right not to perform if the audience size is above the maximum stated attendance for their specific program.
Programs cancelled by a school less than one week before the scheduled program date are subject to full payment. Should illness, inclement weather or other unforeseen circumstances prevent an artist or ensemble from coming to a school, Young Audiences New York will offer the school the option of rescheduling or using a substitute artist or ensemble, if possible.
If a school does not notify Young Audiences New York that a program has been cancelled, it will be charged for any artist who arrives at the school to teach or perform.
Please contact the Young Audiences New York Program Staff for our New York City Department of Education Contract and Vendor Number information.
