PWNW is happy to offer its space for performance rentals at below-market rates if it fits into our studio and personal schedules.

Preference given to projects that align with our mission to advance the performing arts of the Pacific Northwest, engaging artists and audiences fully in the process of experimentation, creation and dialog around the presentation of contemporary performance.

COVID ADAPTATIONS:
Audiences, staff, and crew are welcome to wear masks but not required at this time.

ABOUT OUR SPACE

• The PWNW space is a 30 x 40 room with audience risers at one end. The risers are two levels making three tiers of chairs with the lowest one on the floor.
• We have 44 contoured vinyl chairs, 4 chairs for larger bodies, and 5 higher stools with backs. The typical frontal setup accommodates 39-44 audience members. Plus up to 10 more on cushions or chairs for floor seating.
• The performance area is about 30 feet wide by 25 feet deep. The  walls and ceiling are white. There are black curtains that can cover the side and back walls for something closer to a black box effect, or white curtains around the 3 sides for a lighter feeling.
• The ceiling is about 11 feet high at center and curves down to 8 feet on either side.
• There is no lobby. One steps right into the space from our porch. For ticketing, a folding table is available that can be removed at curtain time.
• Space is wheelchair accessible but there is no accessible bathroom until spring 2025.
• Performance rental includes use of space, sound and light equipment, risers, chairs, and use of backstage/apartment area.
• Rental does not include ticketing, box office service, box office staff or tech or design crew. If you want suggestions for tech or lighting, we may be able to help.

Sets for performances & rehearsals in our space need to be broken down and cleared from the dance floor between each use so that others may use the studio for rehearsal. No nailing or screwing into the floor. Sharp edges on objects need protection (felt, rubber) that dance floor is kept unharmed. NO TAP SHOES OR SPIKE HEELS!
