Studio@550 is a contemporary performance organization designed to promote cross disciplinary exchange through education, services, and resources with dance and movement at the center.
Studio@550 has held classes, workshops, professional development events, networking events, performances, and opportunities through programming and subsidized space rental. Previously located in the heart of Central Square, Cambridge, Studio@550’s mission is to become a sustainable and nurturing art space for professional level artists to nurture their own discipline while learning about other disciplines to facilitate in-depth conversation through the performing arts.
What does this mean for you? If you are an artist and are curious about techniques, practices, experiences that may help see your work differently through a different lens, The Studio @550 is definitely a place to be. Come and share your craft with others. Artists learning from other artists developing their art in parallel. Imagine being a choreographer taking a class from a video artists about using the camera for a potential dance for camera piece. Or, a visual artist engaging a dancer into free drawing session. Perhaps a costume making class? Technology and art class?
