About the Program

WAXworks is an inclusive performance showcase that offers new and experienced artists the opportunity to present their work on a professional stage with substantial and versatile lighting, sound and technical systems. Any kind of stage work is welcome - we invite dance, theater, music, video, at the WAXworks performance lab performance art, poetry, comedy, juggling, singing, puppetry, acrobatics, monologues or anything else that can be performed on a stage. There is no audition process and few technical limitations.

WAXworks is designed to help artists advance their creative process by viewing their work through the objective eyes of a live, enthusiastic audience: guided by the WAX staff, audience members are invited to share their constructive criticisms, reactions and ideas with the artists in an anonymous written format. An involved audience is a supportive audience.

For a nominal fee, artists receive a half hour tech slot and a split bill performance opportunity for work up to 12 minutes in length; in addition to the performance, participants receive the audiences written feedback forms, and a video documenting their performance. In addition to performance services, we are now able to offer constructive criticism on press-kits and artists statements submitted as a part of the WAXworks application. By engaging in this process, artists take part in a "learn-by-doing" method of preparing and refining materials which they will need for other, forward looking opportunities.
