The Mark Morris Dance Group’s (MMDG) Subsidized Rehearsal Space Program (SRSP) aims to reduce barriers to accessing high-quality rehearsal space for independent dance artists and companies based in New York City. MMDG receives funding that allows us to reduce the hourly rental fee for dance rehearsal space to $10.
This program is core to our mission. Since opening the Dance Center, MMDG has provided subsidized rehearsal space to dance artists and companies.
