Friends of Flux

In order to honor the people closest to Flux, several years ago we created a special relationship category called Friends of Flux. Friends of Flux, or ‘FoFs’, are the artists and audience members who have shown a sustained commitment to Flux through some combination of time, resources and talent. FoFs have supported our work through artistic collaboration, committed show attendance, production support, and financial contributions.

We want to honor and celebrate that ongoing relationship by committing to mutually support and strengthen each other. As it says in Flux’s mission statement: “we believe that long-term collaboration and rigorous creative development can unite artists and audiences to build a creative home in New York.” We believe that the Friends of Flux are central to the fulfillment of that mission. Learn more about the genesis of the Friends of Flux program here, and learn more details about how the Friends of Flux work below.

If you’d like to know more information about the Friends of Flux program and how you can get involved, please contact Kia Rogers and Becky Byers.

OK, that all sounds good, but what does it really mean to be a Friend of Flux?

While there are no specific obligations or required responsibilities, FoFs and Flux’s Creative Partners support each other through actions and programming such as:

• SpeakEasy events, our half town-hall, half party where the Creative Partners meet with FoFs to share insider information and brainstorm new ideas;

• Increased access to creative opportunities for FoFs through Flux’s play development programming (Flux Sundays, Have Anothers, Food:Soul, etc.) and productions;

• Priority discount tickets to FoFs, FoFs will bring new audience members to Flux shows;

• Use of social media and word of mouth to spread the news about each other’s work; and more!
