If its inaccessible to the poor, its neither radical nor revolutionary. -source unknown
THE NAME {art rat} in part exudes this very gutteral search for people, places, things that feed our appetites. we are hungry. we are looking.

We are deeply dissatisfied with the current demographic of $50-200-1,000 paying theatregoers. It's not diverse.
For us, the tickets are a means to an end.
$5, 10, 15, or 25 - PAY WHAT YOU CAN.
IT HAS NO EFFECT ON SEATING.
WE WANT TO MAKE AN EXCHANGE: YOU INVEST IN US & WE PERFORM FOR YOU. THE EXCHANGE IS MEANINGFUL. NOT HOW MUCH.
WE COMMIT OURSELVES TO IMAGINING ALTERNATIVE WAYS TO FINANCIALLY SUSTAIN ART RAT. THATS RADICAL, BABY.
Tickets will never be *designed* to sustain this vehicle.
Pay what ever you can.

Were trying to figure out how to be an anti-capitalist vehicle - with radical sustainability & accessibility. Our first strategy is a pay what you can structure: ticket are pay what can at $5, 10, 15, or 25. With no difference in the seating.
.
We are fundraising, and beginning our journey with money.
We appreciate you wanting to be here. We believe we can feed each other something critically missing in the every day, day-to-day. And we appreciate anyone throwing some of their discretionary spending our way.
.
Its a journey trying to configure money with art.
Its an inescapable relationship in the U.S.
.
We know how we DONT want to do things.
But Then, what is it that we want to do? And HOW? What is so radical and HOW?
The burden is upon us to imagine and manifest a new possibility.

[ from Episode 11 Notes ]
The memories in our bodies are underrated, underserved, and under-heeded. We suspect the memories in our 'heads' can't tell the truth nearly as well as our bodies always already Do. The body remembers! The body knows! Give it trust, love, and nourishment. AND A VIBE CHECK EVERY NOW AND THEN.
