Born online in 2020 via the Theatre Is Dead Festival, FKT was created by and for emerging artists feeling unmoored in the new, pandemic-fucked theatrical world.
Since then, our season has expanded to include multiple annual festivals, a residency, and some in-person programming in New York, through which we have generated a wonderful community of artists spanning the globe and a wide range of genres and disciplines.
Our residency program grants four artists the opportunity to spend the summer developing a new project with us through weekly Zoom meetings and a three-day in person retreat, culminating in a public staged reading/presentation of work in New York in the fall.
At the heart of everything we do is the dream to bring artists together in an equitable and highly collaborative space with as few financial barriers as possible.
