We are looking for a performance space for rent

 

Mad House Helsinki is a production & performance platform for live- and performance arts. We are looking for a new space for performances and live art. Our lease ended in 2021 and we are sourcing a long-term space to rent to enhance Finnish live art. An ideal space would be a clear and simple area without any constructions such as a stand or a stage. One of the prior requirements is the ability to re-form the space, since the performances hosted by Mad House are diverse and ever-changing.

-        Capacity of audience around 80-150 pax. The space should be divisible into sections

-        Ability to attach stage infrastructure into the ceiling; (trusses for lightning, audio et cetera)

-        Possibility to attach curtains – the space should me formable to totally dark

-        Wooden floor or possibility to build a flexible floor. 

-        Ability to move heavy stage logistics, heavy loads (freight elevator or street level access)

-        Air condition requirements depending on the audience capacity

-        In line with national emergency exit requirements (two exits, width of the exit)

Audience space

-        Lobby: cafeteria/bar/

-        cloakroom

-        Accessible lavatories regarding the audience capacity guidelines

Office

-        An office space for around 3-4 pax within / along the performance (the current one is in Vallila)

Location

-        easy to access by public transport

-        We prioritize demographic locations where people engage with local activities such as nightlife, cafes & restaurants and cultural events.

Timeline

 -        Aiming to find the new space within 2022

Budget

-        20 euro maximum / average square meter + possible VAT (we would like to have an option to out rent the space if possible)
