Since 1986, Jeff McMahon has been Associate Director of Red Wing Performing Group, Inc. a New York-based not-for-profit organization dedicated to experimental and interdisciplinary work in the performing arts. Originally incorporated in 1979 to support the work of a limited number of individual artists, Red Wing began in 1982 to sponsor other similarly oriented organizations and individuals seeking production and funding support. Although Red Wing remains committed to filling the need for sponsorship in experimental and interdisciplinary performance forms, it also works with artists in more traditional forms, as well as educational projects. Red Wing's current artist-members are Performance Artist/Writer Jeff McMahon andTheater Artist Dan Hurlin www.multiartsprojects.com.

The accounting firm Woloshen and Herman is the organization's part-time accountant and financial adviser. Member-artists administer their respective projects, with Red Wing serving as a financial umbrella. We see ourselves as an innovative model for independent artist-run organizations, putting the emphasis on creative output and not overhead.

Artists who Red Wing have served: choreographers Stephanie Skura, Clarice Marshall, Pam Quinn/Michael O'Connor, Tere O'Connor; theater artist Tom Cayler, performance artists Dan Froot, Sharon Hayes, independent theater groups CMP and 3P Productions, video artist Greg Miller, director Oskar Eustis, and writer/dramaturg Stephen Mueller. For several years, Red Wing was the sponsoring organization for Performance Space 122, a seminal New York venue for dance and performance.

Red Wing and its member artists have received funding from such organizations as The National Endowment for the Arts, The New York State Council on the Arts, Art Matters, Inc., The Rockefeller Foundation, The John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, The New York Foundation for the Arts, The Jerome Foundation, Theatre Communications Group, The Beards Fund, The Foundation for Contemporary Performing Arts, Creative Time, The Harkness Foundations for Dance, Creative Capital, The Henson Foundation, Savrot Fund, Peg Santvoord Foundation, Dover Fund, KTCA, JCT Foundation, and numerous individual contributors. Red Wing artists have been presented by Dance Theater Workshop, The Los Angeles Festival, Danspace Project, Performance Space 122, The Kitchen, Lincoln Center, KTCA-TV, WGBH-TV, The National Performance Network, and many other venues throughout the world. Member artists have received The Off-Broadway/Village Voice Theater Award (Obies), and the New York Dance and Theater Awards (Bessies).
