The Studio 303 SPAs – Once a month, our studio becomes a coworking space. With tables set up around the studio, participants are invited to work on their own things in their own time.
Each SPA centers around a specific topic, with relevant mentors present to answer questions and share their expertise.
The schedule and set up is designed to recreate a day at the spa: a quiet space with foot baths and massage devices, yoga mats and cushions for stretching and rest, a community lunch midday (gluten free & vegan) and free 10 minute professional chair massage appointments throughout!
Independent artists wear many hats in the process of creating and presenting work. This Tech + Prod Spa is dedicated to all things production planning. Do you have a presentation coming up? Want to make the most of your next tech residency? Need to clearly express technical needs to partners? Then this is the place to be!
Mentors will be present to answer your questions and share their insights. They can review your tech riders, help you plan your productions, and answer all your questions regarding technical know-how and production.
