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.
