The House of YES is an artist collective with a performance venue and art space in Brooklyn, New York. It was founded in May 2007 in Ridgewood, Queens, as a work and play space, as well as home to some of its founders and participants. It hosted numerous underground art and music shows, fashion shows, dance parties, and most prominently, circus arts performances. The venue as an organization also provided classes and trainings for people interested in circus-related arts. The Maujer Street house closed on August 31, 2013. ==History== The project to establish the House of Yes grew out of Kae Burke and Anya Sapozhnikova’s earlier Boring Incorporated and Make Fun ventures.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Fun House )〕 The former was a creative way to bring socially conscious performance art to the streets of New York, while the latter was originally a home-based weekly sewing and crafting event in the basement of Kae Burke’s apartment building in Bedford-Stuyvesant.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Maison d'Ordure )〕 In May 2007, the House of Yes was founded in Ridgewood, Queens, along with a couple of founders and participants. The house combined the previous ventures of the founders into one space, including a sewing studio, a recording studio, an art space, a party space, as well as practice spaces for stilt-walking and fire-spinning. On April 22, 2008, the House of Yes was destroyed by fire, caused by a toaster in the kitchen.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=there was a fire @ the House of Yes (a Brooklyn loft/performance space) )〕 The collective lost nearly everything in the fire, including hundreds of costumes, DJ equipment and loudspeakers, aerial silks, theater lights, as well as their house cat named Pilgrim. Nobody except pilgrim was injured in the accident.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Reborn House of Yes feeling positive on their new show )〕 The collective held fundraisers at venues like the Pussycat Lounge, Galapagos Art Space, Spiegeltent and Southpaw, in addition to accepting donations, supplies and volunteer hours.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Benefit for House of Yes fire victims )〕 J.B. Nicholas, contributing to The Villager under the name Nick Brooks, took top honors for Picture Story in the New York Press Association’s 2008 Better Newspaper Contest.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Villager wins 11 awards, ranks with state’s best )〕 for his photos of the female performance artists and aerialists from the House of Yes posing amid the charred ruins of their building the day after a devastating fire. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=House of Yes, scene of hot hipster parties, is toast )〕 In June 2008, the collective had found a new space, and invested thousands of dollars and hours turning an empty, raw warehouse into a suite of offices and performance space. Renovations included the installation of a Broadway-quality, 30-foot-tall, aerial truss, which would be used prominently in the shows in the following months. On May 4, 2009, Kid Koala presented "Music to Draw to..." at the House of Yes, where there was strictly no dancing, but instead people were invited to draw on their sketchbooks with a free cup of hot chocolate.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Kid Koala Blog )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「House of Yes (Brooklyn)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
