Triskelion arts capital project
History
The performance art space began in 2000 and was conceived by the collective, KICK STAND DANCE. In 2005, one of its founders, Abby Bender, and colleague Andy Dickerson succeeded the collective and have operated the organization ever since. Under their direction, Triskelion Arts had grown from one studio/theater to five spaces in the landmarked Hecla Iron Works factory in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. In 2015, Triskelion Arts moved to Greenpoint, Brooklyn.
Facility
Triskelion Arts’ main stage space is the Muriel Schulman Theater, which is a 88-seat black-box theater with accompanying dressing room located behind the stage.
Additionally, there is the Douglas Elliman Studio Theater, a 40-seat studio theater for less formal showings.
Both theaters, along with two other smaller studios, have sprung floors and function as spaces for rehearsals, classes and auditions. Triskelion Arts has provided well over 200,000 rehearsal and class hours to artists working in a variety of disciplines between 2000 and 2016.
Programming
Triskelion Arts has a robust and diverse curated programming series, and also allows individuals and groups to rent the space to self-produce.
The Split Bill series presents 12-16 artists for two-night runs four times per year. The program's intention is to serve emerging artists who are looking for a stepping-stone between the showcase format (for which work is generally capped at 15 minutes) and full-on, evening-length, self-production.
The Collaborations in Dance Festival (CollabFest) runs in the fall presenting 20-30 artists or companies over 4 nights in movement-based work that features a strong collaboration with other mediums such as film, music, theater and visual arts.
Never Before, Never Again is an improvisation festival that runs in the winter presenting 20-30 artists or companies over 4 nights, which was featured in the Brooklyn Paper.
The Comedy in Dance Festival runs in the spring presenting 20-30 artists or companies over 4 nights. Past performers have included Billy Schultz, the Cocoon Central Dance Team which includes Sunita Mani, Tallie Medel and Eleanore Pienta; Jamie Benson and Andrae Gonzalo and The Raving Jaynes, among others.
The Summer Shake-Up runs mid-week in the summer presenting both invited and submission-based work up to 15 minutes.
The Dance Film Feastival, which is co-sponsored by Dance Films Association in 2016, runs in the spring highlighting the complex relationship between choreographer and filmmaker. The festival celebrates national and international dance-based films that stretch the boundaries of what would be possible on the stage.
Beyond presenting application-based works, the organization predominantly hosts MainStage "Triskelion Arts Presents" solo or 2 company shared shows, which are by invitation only. Interested companies are encouraged to make introductions.
