Transforming 51,000 sq ft of asphalt into 100,000 sq ft of creative facilities and 14,000 sq ft of green space for Los Angeles.
- An extraordinary, intimate, and accessible 1,000-seat concert hall with a 70-musician orchestral pit and removable sprung dance floor.
- A state-of-the-art performance venue to welcome artists, organizations, and
audiences who have historically not had access to such spaces. A special fund will offer subsidized access to the spaces.
- A sophisticated, convertible 100-seat dance studio theater where young dancers can propel themselves from practice through performance to a professional career in a path individualized just for them.
- Four oversized dance studios, one of which is a specialized tap studio, where students and artists can grow to their fullest potential.
- A study center and artist lounge where dancers can place themselves in the
context of history to embody the artistry of those who came before and to develop their own voice.
- Over 14,000 sq ft of uplifting green spaces that bring fresh air and a fresh perspective to downtown Los Angeles.
- Colburn’s current annual audience of 30,000 is expected to more than triple, growing to 100,000 people each year.
Our dream is to create a vibrant, welcoming space for the Los Angeles community—a hall for organizations of all sizes currently without a place to call home. Truly a ‘hall
for all’ where diverse ensembles and
artists from across the city can share their performances with an audience that
reflects the makeup of the population
of Los Angeles.”
