Show Box L.A. fosters an environment of connection, through artist-led projects and partnerships that respond to a need for ways to share work, ideas and resources among the dance community. We contribute to critical dialogue in Los Angeles about the art and legacy of dance – locally, and with artists around the country.

In Show Box L.A.’s ongoing efforts to support local choreographers, we are currently focusing on a three-year project called we live in space.

We live in space is a storefront studio in the Jefferson Park neighborhood. It is a rehearsal space for dance-based artists to deepen their creative practice. Through offering suitable and affordable rental space and residencies to choreographers, we believe this studio project will encourage a substantial output of innovative new works. Residency artists may share their process with the public through open rehearsals, informal showings, discussions, or workshops.
