“CAVE is one of the most remarkable arts organizations in New York and unique in the atmosphere of congenial and yet truly advanced artistic development it has created. I have had contact with many rehearsal spaces in New York, none of which serves as a true center of creativity as CAVE does; none of them fosters the same high level of artistic integrity and supportive and open community for other artists that CAVE does. In the midst of the New York Showbiz whirlwind, CAVE provides a serene, stimulating and fertile field for the growth of artistic development. What Ximena and Shige have created and continue to develop everyday – through CAVE’s programs, the way the organism runs, and through their own great artistry – provides a truly remarkable service to non-commercial performance work and so in a way that benefits the greater community. For artists like our Terra Incognita Theatre, having a comfortable and stimulating —and affordable— home to train and develop our work is essential to our continuing to function, and I cannot imagine this having happened without CAVE.”
