Freedom through Encumbrance
Freedom through Encumbrance explores the paradox of finding
liberty while working within an environment that imposes restrictions.
As a result, the mind works beyond its own boundaries and discovers
a new level of creativity, but not always without misfortune.

Hello choreographers!
We are here for the dance
community of Los Angeles, a city of talented choreographers, but
minimal dance performance venues. At Studio A Dance, we provide
a beautiful theater geared toward dance- a sizeable wood floor
stage and awesome lighting, all within an intimate venue. If you
have a piece in mind that you would like to present and are looking
for space, DanceSpot may be your answer. Read below.
DanceSpot Performance Space at Studio
A Dance Information:
where eight local dance companies have an opportunity
to perform monthly
As a performer and audience member,
now is your opportunity to experience intimate dance theatre! Ongoing
performances highlight local dance companies. Audience members get
up close and personal as the 55-seats are situated directly on the
stage. In the adjacent reception room where art by local artists
is displayed, audience members will have an opportunity to mingle
with the performers following the concerts.

(DanceSpot season: September through June)
Studio A Dance in Silver Lake presents a series of monthly dance
concerts in our intimate performance venue, DanceSpot.
Our goal is to provide a performance space where local companies
can show their work and audiences can see dancers up close. Often
choreographers may not have a place to show their work, be it because
of limited repertoire, or lack of funds to rent a venue. We at DanceSpot
understand the dilemma and want to help to share art.
Concerts January through June are generally held on the last Saturday
of each month, and September through December on the first Saturday
of the month.
Here is how it works:
* Companies or soloists audition by submitting a bio and a video
(DVD or youTube) of proposed piece (If your piece is a work
in progress, please show us any sample of your past works with a
detailed description of the proposed piece). Dances are limited
to 8 minutes. Companies are limited to 2 performances within a 12-month
period. Submission deadline: Three weeks prior
to performance date.
* If you are chosen to perform, there are no fees, instead we ask
that choreographers/performers meet the audience quota as follows:
a. Soloists must bring 3 audience members.
b. Duets: six
c. Trios: seven
d. Quartets and above: eight
e. Friends & family of choreographers &
performers must reserve by close of Wednesday of performance week.
(FYI: proceeds from Box office cover mounting expenses. And the
remainder to theater improvements)
* Approximately one week prior to performance, each company techs
for I/2 hour at DanceSpot to get a feel of the space and to collaborate
on lighting cues which we will program for you.
* One large shared dressing room is available for all dancers
* Audience seating capacity is 55, and tickets will be $15 each
($20 at the door). No comps. Only one exception: If the choreographer
is not dancing in his or her piece, we will comp that person as
an audience member. Comps are non-transferable. Reservations made
through Studio A Dance. click: DanceSpot
Reservations.
* We will post your dance description and dance photo on this page
prior to each show so that you can link friends.
* Note: because of the nature of our theatre, floorwork is
unable to be seen by much of the audience if performed downstage,
so we suggest keeping the floorwork to mid-stage and upstage. Secondly,
rosin is not allowed on our floor.
DanceSpot @ Studio A: description below & photos on our theatre
rental page
* Black Box stage: Floor to ceiling Black Duvetyn drapes with 2
upstage entrances and one mid-stage wing.
* Oak sprung floor
* 12 separate lighting schemes with programmable time faders
* Limit of 6 lighting cue changes per company
* Performance area is 24 feet wide by 20 feet deep
If you are interested in auditioning for DanceSpot, please submit
a DVD or send us a link to web videos, and a short bio of your company/soloist
