The Becton

400 West 150th Street anchors Harlem’s creative pulse, home to The Becton, a performing arts group shaping the neighborhood’s cultural rhythm. Original works unfold with textured scores spanning solo dance pieces and chamber opera evenings, while polyphonic voice workshops and site-specific stagings spill beyond walls into unexpected corners.

Downstairs, sound designers collaborate with choreographers to fuse live electronic textures into live performance. This is where live electronics meet violin improvisation, and where text-sound compositions drift across open rehearsal spaces. The address at 400 W 150th St apt #3, New York, NY 10031 sits enmeshed in a block where pop-up street choirs and spoken-word collectives crisscross staged works at street level.
