ABOUT COUNTERPULSE CO-PRODUCTIONS The CounterPulse Co-Production program is open to all genres of performing artists, ensembles, companies, collectives,
etc. looking to stage completed works as part of our Fall or Spring curated seasons. As a co-producing artist,
CounterPulse partners with you by offering access to space, resources, marketing, and production support at subsidized
rates to bring your work to stage. This program provides more support than our self-producing program, but less creative
and developmental support than our artist residency programs.
Base packages for co-productions start at $3300 for three (3) nights of performance (typically Thu-Sat) and eight (8) hours
of technical rehearsal. The package also includes a CounterPulse Technician at all performances and technical rehearsals
and comprehensive front of house and box office services. Co-producing artists receive 100% of the net income (total
sales - processing fees) from their ticket sales.
Also included in the Base Package:
● Direct support from CounterPulse staff to coordinate your production
● Access to all CounterPulse house technical equipment
● Liability insurance coverage
● Basic promotional support, including a listing in our printed or digital season brochure
● Ticket and box office management and Front of House services
● Audience contact and demographic information reports for your events
● 10 hours of complimentary non-technical rehearsal space
● Access to CounterPulse member rates for all other rehearsal, class, or workshop space
● Use of the CounterPulse Upstairs Studio for green room on the nights of your show
WHO WE CHOOSE
CounterPulse is historically a venue for experimental dance and performance art. However, we are open to proposals
from all types of performing artists. There are no hard and fast rules about who we will select. In general, selected artists
will:
● Blend more than one performance genre or discipline. Collaboration with other artists is strongly encouraged.
● Be community-based and socially aware. We are interested in work that addresses current social, political or
environmental issues.
● Have a distinct and compelling vision for how they would like to take advantage of CounterPulse’s physical space
and organizational resources.
We particularly encourage queer and trans artists, artists of color, and artists with disabilities to apply. Group shows and shared
evenings are also eligible.
