RFP: Curated Rentals

Red Eye’s rental program allows the space to function as a resource to the Twin Cities performance community, to expand our community beyond our programming capacities, and to foster sustainability for the organization.

The RFP is currently closed. The next round will open in summer 2025 for performances taking place through summer 2027. For performances taking place before summer 2025, Red Eye may accept rental proposals on a rolling basis, depending on availability. Please contact staff@redeyetheater.org for more information.

Works-in-Progress

Works-in-Progress is a cohort-based container for creative process, peer exchange, and public sharing of a live performance work. Each year, Red Eye assembles a cohort of artists who wish to engage in dialogue around their creative process. These artists form a temporary community of practice, around a shared commitment to questioning artistic form and challenging dominant culture.

WIP participants receive modest technical and production support, rehearsal space as available, and participate in feedback showings with the cohort. The program involves critical reflection on making, as well as how we talk about making. Each artist in the WIP cohort presents 10-15 minutes of work as part of a shared evening in the first weekend of Red Eye’s celebrated New Works 4 Weeks Festival.

The RFP is now closed and will reopen sometime in October 2025.

Omnivers

OMNIVERS is a flexible container in which Red Eye supports the process of BIPOC artists or collectives working in live performance, taking a shape determined by those artists or collectives.

The RFP is currently closed.

Submissions

Red Eye is not accepting ad hoc submissions at this time.

The Isolated Acts portion of the annual New Works 4 Weeks Festival is curated by Red Eye’s Artistic Directors. We do not take proposals for this program, but if you are an artist working in contemporary performance in the Twin Cities and you’d like to be on our radar, please send us an invitation to a performance at staff@redeyetheater.org. We can’t promise we’ll be able to attend every event, but we are glad to stay in the loop with new work.
