In Studio Performances

In Studio Performances is a multi-disciplinary time-based arts series that presents artists working in both contemporary and traditional performing art forms — theater, dance, and music — from all over the world. We seek to develop an audience eager to experience, close-up, new works as they are being created and/or to see performances by acclaimed international performers whose artistry is not being presented by more traditional Bay Area venues.

We strive to make In Studio Performances an intimate and collegial experience by reducing the boundary between artist(s) and audience and by often sharing light food and beverages both before and after the performance. We encourage both pre-and post-performance interaction (where possible or appropriate) and informal dialogue between the artists and the audience.

Our ultimate goal is to create optimal conditions for artists to share their work in a supportive environment and with the tools needed to unleash their creative practice and produce performances that will have transformative power for both the artists and the audience.

VENUE FOR ALL PERFORMANCES: The Dresher Ensemble Studio in West Oakland (very near the Bay Bridge). The address will be provided with the ticket purchases. Seating is limited – Tickets must be purchased in advance.

To ensure both the performers’ and the audience’s safety, we require that everyone attending has been vaccinated and will wear a mask.
