As construction continues on the new World Trade Center, plans are in motion to build a performing arts center at the site. Planners are focusing on a 1,000-seat theater geared mainly toward dance companies from outside of New York. The Joyce Theater, a modern dance company, will be responsible for the center’s artistic programming and vision.

With $55 million already allocated to the performing arts center, the decision will soon be made to increase the funding by another $100 million.
