Potluck Residency

POTLUCK is a subsidized rehearsal and performance residency that includes opportunities for teaching company class and taking free classes at Dovetail. We are looking to begin this program in September with performances happening in February-April or when convenient for you.

This is a 6 month residency with a shared performance at the end of the residency. We are looking for companies/artists who will share a show at the end of their rehearsal process.

Companies get 4 hr a week at a discounted price.

Studio 3 17.00 per hr ( usually 23.00) total price for 4 hrs weekX6 months = 1632.00
Studio 1 24.00 per hour ( usually 55.00) for 4 hrs X6 months=  2304.00

Companies will share a show that includes 1 tech and 1 dress and 2 performances. Shows will include a tech person( we work to make sure dates work for them).

PERFORMANCE COSTS:

1300.00 instead of 1500.00.
This fee is split between the 2 companies sharing a show = $650.00 per company

TOTALS:

Studio 3 rentals with performance per company: 2282.00.

Studio 1 rentals with performance per company 2945.00

If companies want extra rehearsals or extra lighting for their shows this is charged at a regular rate.
