Triskelion Arts plans move to Greenpoint

Triskelion Arts, the Williamsburg, Brooklyn center for dance announced its signing of a 10-year lease on a former body shop in Greenpoint at the corner of Calyer and Banker Streets. The organization will move during Summer 2014, but the build-out of the new location will begin next month. The current site of Triskelion’s operations at 118 N. 11th Street will continue to operate until June 2014. "All scheduled performances, rehearsals, and classes at the current location will not be affected," says Artistic Director Abby Bender. "Studio and theater rentals will continue as usual through May.

" The new facility is a freestanding, two-story construction that will boast two ground-floor performance spaces, four dance studios, increased audience capacity, higher ceilings, and wheelchair accessibility. This change opens new opportunities for visibility to up-and-coming artists and organizational autonomy in this unshared building. A $150,000 capital campaign will be launched in the coming weeks to raise funds for the project."
