General Info

The Alchemical is creative studios for theatre, photography, video, classes and performance, directed by Carlo Altomare and Gia Lisa Krahne. A true artistic laboratory where artists can engage in the research and development of new work through rehearsal, teaching, and performance. Our 70-seat white box performance theatre, 60 seat Lab, and four other affordable, clean rehearsal studios are uniquely inviting spaces for rehearsals, performances, classes, workshops, readings, dance, photography & video shoots, fashion, lectures, auditions, screenings, more. We are proud to run an organization which serves a great diversity of NYC and international artists – as both a safe haven to work and create in, as well as a uniquely inviting social atmosphere to find and create community and be supported as serious artists. We closely attend to the needs of everyone who works here, and strive to maintain a respectful and constructive atmosphere to support the community we happily serve. We are an artist-run facility and understand the importance of your work. By providing affordable creative spaces to emerging artists, as well as established organizations who seek The Alchemical’s intimate environment – we strive to catalyze our dedication to research into the contemporary meaning and nature of live performance. The Alchemical is also known as an unusually warm and exciting downtown salon for experimental theatre, music, fashion & performance. We are committed to developing the social potential of performance, and actively foster a real discourse between artists and the public. We regard the theatrical experience as a creative public assembly; the audience is an important partner in fulfilling our mission. Our aims are to present public events that are informative, inspiring and fun­, and to engender a meaningful engagement between artists and audience. Our events tend to attract other artists, affording the attending public a personal engagement rarely found in bigger, less colloquial spaces. At this time in New York City, it is not easy to find space to produce new theatre, music, art and performance. We are pleased that we can provide affordable spaces to artists and the public in that regard. We invite you to take a look at our website and give us a call at (212) 675-1390 to discuss how your next project might work at The Alchemical.
