At heart, LBT is an Arts Service Organization. As such priorities are balanced between the curation of in-house collaborative works and the technical support of individual artistic visions.
The 2600 sqft studio is maintained as a versatile entity, ready to facilitate dance, theater, drag & performance arts, circus, opera, film and photography. At standard the space is maintained as a crossover black box dance theater and production studio.
LBT provides in-house production experience from set building to lighting and sound as well as maintaining and providing high quality professional gear, material goods and expendables for artists utilizing the space. In this way, core programming has for 9 years manifested as broadband creative support for performing artists of all disciplines, with a focus on underfunded and intersectional Queer representation.
Growing their artist residency program as an organic extension of early monthly open house performance evenings. LBT supports developed artists by providing a space to focus on process driven concept work as a powerful tool for developing personal stories into relevant content.
