History
VIA’s first performance was in a dance studio at Juilliard in 1998 by a group of dancers, musicians, actors, and filmmakers who sought to create performance work that investigated world culture. They have since performed and toured globally at venues such as Lincoln Center, Symphony Space, the Brooklyn Academy of Music, the Whitney Museum, and several international festivals. During the first ten years, the group toured and performed with artists across a wide array of mediums such as poet Roger Bonair-Agard, artist Erika Harrsch, and videographer Carmen Kordas. VIA has recently restructured the organization, acting as a production organization and less as a performance ensemble.In 2009, Beth Morrison Projects, Opera on Tap, and VisionIntoArt worked together for the first time on a performance of 21c Liederabend, an evening of music by composers from the twenty-first century.[1] And in 2011, the organization announced its first grants program under the name The Balsamo Career Grant as well as a residency program produced in coordination with Under the Volcano, a writers workshop located in Tepoztlán, Mexico.
