RENTING THE JAMES AND MARTHA DUFFY PERFORMANCE SPACE

Performance rentals take place in the James and Martha Duffy Performance Space, a 3400 square foot, wheelchair accessible, unobstructed dance studio with a triple-basket weave sprung sub floor covered with a black Cascade Harlequin dance floor located on the top floor of the Mark Morris Dance Center. In addition to Performance Space, rentals include access to an adjacent lobby, terrace, bathrooms and backstage storage/production area. Also included is access to the Dance Center’s 4th floor Employee Lounge to use as a green room for each event date.

The James and Martha Duffy Performance Space is converted into a 4-wing black box theater that includes audience risers with a maximum of 166 seats, all necessary masking and cyclorama, a repertory light plot specifically designed for dance (consisting of 120 dimmers and approx. 180 lighting units) and a professional sound system for performance rentals. The exact number of audience seats are determined per production as chairs may need to be removed for a tech table, videographer, photographer, wheelchair seating, or a music pit.
