Collectively Operating a Performance Theater in SF

Learn what it takes to write, direct and perform 100 SHOWS A YEAR as a small group of artists who also RUN THE BUSINESS together. It’s not a sitcom, it’s The San Francisco Neo-Futurists. They put on the [Infinite Wrench](https://url.avanan.click/v2/r01/___https://www.eventbrite.com/e/sf-neo-futurists-the-infinite-wrench-tickets-482054827967___.YXAzOnNmZHQyOmE6bzphNmM5YzViOGIwMGE4ZWEyNzJjOGYwZWExMjdiODI0Njo3Ojg1ODY6YjE0Yjg5YjdiZjFjM2E0Y2E3Njc2MjA2ZTZlYmFjZGIzY2NkM2Q0ZmMwNWYxZDUyNmE3NTg4ZDRmMjIyZDdlZjpoOlQ6Tg), the show the SF Chronicle calls one of "22 San Francisco things everyone must do!" They’ll pull back the curtain on how they operate as a non-hierarchical consensus-based collective to organize performance space, run committees, budget and raise funds and ultimately put on a show every week. They’ll also cover their process for writing new material for a new cast of performers to put on a different show *every* Friday and Saturday night. The SF Neos are a collective of wildly prolific artists dedicated to the perpetual creation of experimental theatre that is immediate, ephemeral, accessible and cheap. They believe the stage is an extension of daily life: they perform as themselves in a non-illusory, interactive style that challenges the audience to create alongside them as active participants with a voice of their own. They respect and uplift each other on and off stage through non-hierarchical accountability, collective decision-making and anti-oppression practice of all kinds. **This program takes place in the Steve Silver Music Center - 4th Floor of Main Library (100 Larkin Street)** **MeetUp RSVP does not guarantee registration for SFPL in person programs.**
