First come-first served.

OPEN STUDIO
with Annie-B Parson 45m 

An invitation to professional choreographers, dancers, and directors, from all performance family-trees, stages, ages, and disciplines, to come visit me in a cyber studio (pandemic constraints)  for a virtual tea and conversation around such issues as choreography, ensembles, teaching, career, design, and the field in general. You’ll set the agenda!

OPEN OFFICE

OPEN SHOP
If you’re an artist, choreographer, or a dance producer in need of specific prop items take a look at our idiosyncratic collection of stuff, aka:  INVENTORY.

If you see something you can use, we will lend it out to you.

We are excited for the opportunity to meet artists and independent producers, and in turn, these open forums serve as community mentorships and connections for informal discussions around dance-making and  arts management development. 

Please email Sara Pereira da Silva at sara.silva@bigdancetheater.org to book an appointment. 

Come meet us! Use our stuff!
