Makers Space Experience
The Keshet Makers Space Experience (MSE) is a cohort-based residency program in which choreographers / dancemakers have access to rehearsal space, peer movement classes, arts business workshops, and the New Mexico skies, as they explore their art form and their projects at whatever stage they might be – newly germinating ideas, final development of full productions, and/or anything in between.
Each Makers Space Experience Cohort provides a unique opportunity for artists from across the country and world to gather at Keshet for a 10-day residency as they explore, move, share, and create. It is also a unique opportunity for the Albuquerque community to enjoy getting to know these amazing artists.
While Makers are in residence they offer daily peer-led movement classes open to the public, a fantastic chance for Albuquerque dancers to experience each of these artists’ unique movement styles. Throughout each cohort period, Keshet offers customized daily Business Workshops for Arts Entrepreneurs which are free and open to the public. We encourage community members to join!
The Makers Space Experience also provides housing throughout the residency period, along with oodles of sunshine and love!
Makers Space Experience Applications open September 1 – October 1, 2026!
