DIY Performance Series
Opportunity for Performance Makers
The DC will collaborate with artists to bring their work to our spaces. We will provide the artist with space and a box office split of 80/20 per cent in favor of the artist. There are 20+ weekends available in one of our two performance spaces – Julie Ince Thompson Theatre (Studio 1) and Studio 7. It is recommended that the artist have self produced previously and have other funding in place to cover artistic expenses. We encourage a wide spectrum of genres and cultural origins within under-represented communities.

Reflection, Healing & Movement
Opportunity for Educators & Practitioners
The DC engages an artist to hold a session with a focus on reflection, mindfulness, and healing. Sessions will intersect movement with mindful practices to promote mental and/or physical healing. Artists will host their session from a series of pre-set dates.
Friday Night Lights
Opportunity for Communities & Movement Leaders
The DC engages an artist to host a Friday evening dance lesson followed by an open dance party. Artists may host a dance lesson(s) in the style of their choosing.
The DC Presents
The Dance Complex Presents Series offers a finite number of engagements per season for which The DC and the artist engage in shared fundraising and community engagement development. Usually, these engagements are the product of several months of conversations with an Advisory Curation Committee and staff. Please contact Peter at peter@dancecomplex.org to set up an initial conversation.
Applications for the 2025-2026 season are now open.
