SHIFT, Dance, Arts & Media

Dance, live media installations, and narrative design share space at SHIFT, a non-profit arts hub tucked in the Financial District. The same address hosts everything from curatorial mentorship to mastery clinics in lighting and projection mapping, making 75 Maiden Ln Ste 906 an address where visual, kinetic, and digital practices overlap. Twice a year they host an open call for experimental performance projects, and the lobby’s ceiling rig can be rented for immersive video mapping—if the technology aligns.

A quick call locks in rehearsal space, one-on-one dramaturgy sessions, or access to a community equipment library. Dial (212) 691-6969 for the quickest response on rentals and booking windows. Workshops rotate seasonally, covering silent film accompaniment ensembles, wearable sensor prototyping, and grant-writing clinics specifically for emerging choreographers.

Navigate via the map to reach them: directions drop you right outside the building’s 9th-floor entrance.
