THE NYSCA BIPOC AFFORDABLE
REHEARSAL RENTAL PROGRAM
Prioritizing BIPOC artists and performing arts entities from underserved and under resourced communities, Teatro Círculo’s Affordable Rehearsal Rental Program will provide a minimum of 1,000 hours of deeply discounted rentals to artists and entities throughout New York City, for $10/hour at our modernized 3rd Floor studio space. The days and times the space will be available will be the PEAK hours of Monday – Friday 1:00 PM – 10:00 PM, Saturday & Sunday 9:00 AM to 10:00PM, excluding Federal Holidays and weeks when Teatro Círculo uses the space.
BIPOC (Black, Indigenous & People of Color) access to affordable rental signals our intention of creating a safe space where emerging writers, actors, directors, dancers, and performance-based artists are encouraged to imagine strong, while supporting each other through the process of creation.
Teatro Círculo believes accessible rehearsal space for the creative performing arts can provide a vision and advocacy platform for antiracism, equitable funding and structural support for culturally specific artists and performing groups in New York.
The NYSCA BIPOC Affordable Rehearsal Rental Program is made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.
