NEW YORK VOICES

New York Voices is Joe’s Pub at The Public’s artist commissioning program. As part of The Public Theater’s long history of cultivating the country’s most celebrated artists, this program supports the creation of new works by critically-acclaimed musicians and performers. New York Voices encourages artists to explore their storytelling, narratives, and songwriting processes, and includes a variety of developmental and practical resources. Each commission culminates with a run of live shows on the Joe’s Pub stage. The program successfully connects artists with their contemporaries and significantly expands their abilities to reach wider audiences. Many of the commissioned works have toured nationally and internationally. The 2022/2023 commissions are by: Bahia Watson & Liza Paul, Chris Pattishall & Vuyo Sotashe, Daniel J. Watts & Nick Blaemire, Sunny Jain, and treya lam.

New York Voices is supported in part by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts.

Dan Fishback

Chronically ill playwright/musician Dan Fishback is crafting a new, live song cycle of his work, performed by other people. An experiment in accessibility, the development process of this project will be guided by a disability justice framework. All presentations will require a masked audience so that other chronically ill people can safely attend.

The collection of songs, which is only partially about illness, speaks to the irresolvable complexity of queer, disabled life in an era of rising fascism. What happens when the world requires you to fight, while your heart requires you to grieve, and your body demands that you hold still? The working title is, Dan Fishback is Alive and Unwell and Living in His Apartment.

Omar Offendum

Omar Offendum: Little Syria. Set in the Lower Manhattan neighborhood once known as Little Syria (1880~1940), this genre-bridging performance — spanning Hip-Hop, Arabic instrumentation, and ḥakawātī oral storytelling traditions — reimagines early 20th-century life in the heart of Arab-America. Just south of the current World Trade Center, this once vibrant cultural hub for New York’s Middle Eastern immigrants was home to artists and intellectuals, with live instrumentation by Ronnie Malley on the Oud and Piano and beats by Thanks Joey, this creative retelling of a tragically underrepresented history draws an audience attuned to stories of immigration, xenophobia, and the elusive “American dream.”

Sarah Elizabeth Charles

Sarah Elizabeth Charles' Maya Angelou Project. Maya Angelou’s writing, work as a performer and identity as a prolific artist have influenced/inspired Charles for over 20 years and continue to have an enormous impact on her creative space today. This musical work has developed overtime and now exists as a moment for Charles and her collaborator in performance, Jordan Peters (guitarist/producer/composer), to delve into Angelou’s creative world, intertwining it with their own. With this project, Charles utilizes her multifaceted identity as a musician rooted in jazz, folklore, hymns, soul, rock and blues to celebrate Angelou’s imaginative, profound and historically valuable poetry.
