How to Show Work?
Open Performance artists are selected through a lottery system. Artists are invited to use this platform to share their work or ideas at any stage of development. It should not, however, be a finished work as the program is intended to support the creative process. Shared material should be limited to 12 minutes or less. Artists will share the evening with two to three other artists. ** Please email [email protected] with any questions about this program.

The Fall 2026 Open Performance Dates are listed below. All events are held on Tuesdays at 7pm at the Movement Research Studios at 122 Cultural Center.
