We’re so glad to have you as a renter and part of our creative community. We believe in the magic of shared space and are grateful to have artists like you bringing it to life. The following rehearsal rental guidelines help us maintain an organized, respectful, and supportive environment for everyone. Thank you for reading and being part of what makes Trisk magical!

UPDATED SEPTEMBER 4, 2026

Please read the following, fill out the form, and submit to accept our most updated terms and conditions.

At Triskelion Arts, a rehearsal is defined as a private booking for developing, practicing, or refining artistic material with collaborators who have been directly invited to participate in the development of a specific production. Rehearsals may not include any form of open call, public marketing, registration process, or participation model through which individuals may opt in to attend. The rehearsal rate applies only to closed, non-public working sessions. Rehearsals do not include invited audiences, public-facing invitations, documentation crews, instructional components, open enrollment, open access of any kind, or any form of direct or indirect income generation, including donation-based, cost-sharing, or suggested contribution models. Warm-ups, technique sessions, or guided movement practices are permitted only when conducted exclusively for the closed rehearsal team. If such activities are advertised, opened to enrollment, or structured to allow opt-in participation beyond the collaborators directly invited to participate in the production, they will be classified as a Class or Workshop rental. Any use of the space involving public access, opt-in participation, filming beyond internal documentation, teaching (whether paid or donation-based), or sharing work-in-progress with observers falls outside the scope of a rehearsal and must be booked through direct inquiry at rentals@triskelionarts.org, as different rates and terms apply.

Facilities means the premises, studios, theater, and other areas made available by Triskelion Arts under this Agreement.

The following terms and conditions apply specifically to rehearsal rentals booked through Triskelion Arts’ online system. This system is intended exclusively for closed rehearsal use as defined above and does not apply to other types of rentals in our space. For all other bookings, including but not limited to performances, showings, media production, filming, virtual or in-person classes, workshops, open rehearsals, auditions, table reads, warm-up sessions open to outside participants, or special events, please email rentals@triskelionarts.org with your intended use. Triskelion Arts will review your request and, if approved, will work with you directly via email to confirm your booking at the appropriate rate and terms.

Please note: Rehearsal rates differ from all other types of rentals with us and are subject to change based on intended use.

Misuse of the rehearsal rate policy and the online bookings system may result in the cancellation of the current and all future bookings. If it is determined that the space is being used for purposes other than rehearsal during the rental period, Triskelion Arts reserves the right to cancel the booking immediately and deny future access. The renter will also be responsible for paying the difference between the rehearsal rate and the appropriate rate for the actual use.

NEW RENTERS

• If you are a new renter, please head here to begin your account setup and to schedule your in-person new renter meeting before your first booking. There is a one-time setup fee. This includes your set of keys to the space! Keys will be provided onsite at the time of your first rehearsal.

PLEASE…

• While we LOVE glitter, no glitter is allowed!  :)

• And on that note, the use of decorative materials that shed, fragment, disperse, or otherwise release small particles is prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, glitter, confetti, metallic dusts, foil fragments, sequins, rhinestones, beads, feathers, or similar materials that are difficult to fully remove and may require manual or adhesive-based cleanup.

• If it doesn’t fit in our trash cans, it wasn’t meant to be; the sidewalk isn’t its home either, take it with you.

• Remove your shoes before entering the studios. Socks and bare feet are preferred. If shoes are necessary, they must be approved by Triskelion Arts. Tap shoes are not allowed.

• The use of body paint, including but not limited to liquid latex, glitter body paint, and airbrush body paint is not allowed.

• No eating or food in the studios.

• Keep all furniture and equipment in the studio where they are found. To ensure that each space remains properly equipped for all renters, items should not be moved between studios.

• No props, materials, or items that will scratch or harm the studio floors, walls, and other surfaces. Props, materials, and items used in the space must have soft bottoms, felt, or rubber. Triskelion Arts reserves the right to approve all props, materials, and items that will be used in the space.

• The use of tape or any other adhesives on the floors, walls, mirrors, or other surfaces is strictly prohibited without prior approval from Triskelion Arts.

• Do not prop open the exterior, studio, or bathroom doors.

• The use of all materials that can shatter, including but not limited to glass, mirrors, ceramics, and other breakable items are prohibited in the studios.

• No aerial work of any kind.

• Do not touch the mirrors.

• Use indoor voices and modest sound levels out of respect for our neighbors and your fellow artists. Triskelion Arts reserves the right to limit sound levels in all studios.

• No live music or vocal rehearsals are allowed anywhere in the building without prior approval from Triskelion Arts. If a live music or vocal rehearsal is approved, rates may vary.

• No additional sound reinforcement beyond what is provided by Triskelion Arts.

• The possession, use, or distribution of alcohol, illegal drugs, or any intoxicating or controlled substances is strictly prohibited while renting at Triskelion Arts. Triskelion Arts assumes no liability for any consequences resulting from violations of this policy. Renters are responsible for ensuring all participants comply.

• Do not leave props or personal materials on the premises unless previously arranged with Triskelion Arts.

• No painting or sewing, unless previously approved by Triskelion Arts.

• Remember your keys! If you do happen to forget them, staff will do their best to help you, but cannot guarantee staff availability.

• If keys are lost, a new set can be purchased here. In the event that you do not contact Triskelion Arts to set up a key pickup, you are still responsible for booking payment.

• No smoking, candles, incense, or open flames of any kind.

• Stay clear of the walls. They are not weight-bearing! :) 

• Let your participants know which studio you booked to avoid disrupting others.

• Triskelion Arts is not responsible for lost or stolen articles or for personal injury incurred on the premises.

• If something is accidentally broken, please just let us know.

• If anyone at any time should feel they may encounter a potentially unsafe situation, that person should immediately raise such concern to the account holder and contact Triskelion Arts accordingly.

• Studios are rented as-is. While we welcome feedback, we appreciate your understanding that changes to the space may not be possible.

• Weapons, weapon-like props, hazardous materials, and related accessories, including but not limited to firearms, replica firearms, prop weapons, knives, swords, ammunition, explosives, pyrotechnics, airsoft weapons, and pellet guns, are strictly prohibited anywhere on the premises.

• Submit approval requests for materials or activities addressed in this agreement to rentals@triskelionarts.org with at least one week’s notice. Please note that approval cannot be guaranteed without this notice.

BOOKING & SCHEDULING

• Rental accounts are kept under one main account holder's name (that's you, the Renter!), not a company, collective, or organization. 

• Renters are not permitted to share keys or accounts and agree to be present for all bookings confirmed under the account holder’s name.

• All renters are asked to set up an account via our online booking system. This can be done after you have booked space. Get more details on how to set up your account here.

• Our online booking system is for rehearsal rentals only.

• If there is an access need that prohibits the use of the upstairs studios, the ground floor theater studio is available as an alternative option at the reduced rate of $10/hour, subject to availability. Please email rentals@triskelionarts.org so our staff can assist in applying this rate to the rehearsal booking.

• Bookings are made via our online system. FAQ here.

• Our building is keyed entry. Don’t forget your keys! If you neglect to bring keys to a booking payment is still required.

• Renter is responsible for letting their participants in if they do not arrive together. To maintain a smooth and respectful environment, there should be no banging on doors, and exterior doors may not be propped open for participant arrival. Please coordinate arrival times in advance to ensure seamless entry.

• All renters are asked to allow enough time to exit the studio by the end of their booking. Studio rentals include use of the space only and do not include staff support for managing arrivals, departures, or changeovers between bookings. Renters are responsible for coordinating participant access and beginning and ending their rehearsal within their reserved booking time. If your rental requires an exact start time, we recommend beginning your rehearsal later than your reservation start time or adding additional time to your booking for flexibility.

• Rehearsal bookings can be made two months in advance of today’s date.

• Renter agrees to use space for rehearsals only.

• Please note that Triskelion Arts does not provide chairs, tables, or other furniture for rehearsal bookings. For access requests in the upstairs studios, please contact us in advance: rentals@triskelionarts.org.

• CANCELLATION POLICY: we have a one-week cancellation policy for rehearsals.

• Changes, rescheduling, or cancellations can be made by following the link at the bottom of the rental confirmation email and must be made up to one week in advance of the booking date. Renters will forfeit the full cost of the rental for any late cancellations or no-show bookings. For prepaid bookings cancelled with at least one week’s notice, please email rentals@triskelionarts.org to request a credit as credits are not automatically issued through the online booking platform. These credits may be used toward a future booking within the same calendar year. Refunds are not available.

• Triskelion Arts does not cancel or refund rehearsals due to weather conditions unless the building is officially closed for safety reasons including but not limited to a citywide shutdown, power outage, or mandatory evacuation. If the facility remains open and accessible, standard cancellation policies apply. In those cases, rehearsals would be canceled and credited. Otherwise, our standard cancellation policy applies.

• Triskelion Arts reserves the right to cancel, reschedule, shift, or move bookings to a different studio if necessary. While every effort is made to honor confirmed bookings as scheduled, adjustments may occasionally be required. We appreciate your understanding and flexibility.

PAYMENT & FEES

• Payment for each rental is due at the time of EACH use or in advance for rehearsal. Payments can be made via our website.

• A credit card is required to be securely stored for each booking in order to guarantee the booking. By booking a rehearsal through Triskelion Arts’ online booking system, Triskelion Arts is then given the authorization to consider the securely stored credit card as a guarantee payment of past due payments. Any payment that has become past due will be paid by use of this credit card. Charges will be applied to the card only when payments become delinquent. Triskelion Arts is not obligated in any way to extend further notification terms prior to activating a payment guarantee charge. 

• Any credits must be used within the calendar year, and cannot be transferred to another renter.

• Triskelion Arts reserves the right to restrict future bookings for accounts with outstanding balances until the account has been brought current.

CAPACITY
Renter understands and agrees:

• that capacity and crowd control for each booking will be in line with up-to-date state and city-wide guidelines and regulations and Triskelion Arts’ own capacity limits at the time of each rental; capacity is subject to change and any changes will not result in a discount on the rental rate. Renter understands that Triskelion Arts will at all times limit the number of persons on the premises to the number permitted by local ordinances and requirements. Review the most up-to-date capacity limits for each studio here.

BUILDING ACCESS & HOURS
Renter understands and agrees:

• to leave the space promptly at the end of their rental period to ensure a smooth transition for the next booking.

• to allow enough time within the rental for cleanup, strike, and departure.

• that common areas and stairwells should remain clear to keep egress and the flow of bookings running smoothly.

BUILDING SYSTEMS & CONDITIONS
Renter understands and agrees:

• Triskelion Arts makes every reasonable effort to maintain a safe, functional, and well-operated facility. However, Renter acknowledges that building systems, including but not limited to heating and cooling (HVAC), electrical, plumbing, internet, and utilities, may occasionally experience interruptions, malfunctions, or reduced performance due to factors beyond Triskelion Arts’ control, including but not limited to extreme weather, building infrastructure issues, or third-party service disruptions.

• Triskelion Arts will respond promptly and in good faith to address any such issues when they arise, including engaging qualified repair professionals and, when feasible, offering studio or scheduling adjustments. However, Triskelion Arts cannot guarantee uninterrupted operation of building systems and is not responsible for delays, disruptions, or losses resulting from system failures or conditions outside of its control.

• Changes in Laws or Policies: Changes to any applicable federal, state, or local laws, governmental orders, regulations, public health requirements, occupancy restrictions, fire or life safety requirements, or Triskelion Arts policies and procedures shall not entitle the Renter to a refund, credit, reduction in fees, or modification of this Agreement unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Triskelion Arts.

This policy is consistent with applicable Office of Children and Family Services requirements and Triskelion Arts’ commitment to maintaining appropriate egress, emergency access, and a safe environment for all occupants.

• Conduct of Activities: The Renter shall conduct all activities in a safe, lawful, and orderly manner and shall not create a nuisance or unreasonably interfere with Triskelion Arts, neighboring occupants, or other users of the facility.

• Previous Approvals: Any approval granted by Triskelion Arts for an activity, use, equipment, material, setup, request, or exception shall apply only to the specific circumstances for which it was granted. Previous approvals shall not obligate Triskelion Arts to grant similar or future approvals. All requests shall be evaluated independently based on the circumstances existing at the time of the request and in accordance with Triskelion Arts’ policies, operational needs, safety requirements, and charitable mission.

• Independent Parties: Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to create any partnership, joint venture, agency, employment, or independent contractor relationship between Triskelion Arts and the Renter or any of the Renter’s employees, contractors, instructors, volunteers, participants, collaborators, vendors, or representatives.
