Book an Event

Choose the path that fits your project: Open Call (up to one hour), private space rental, or performance rental for longer shows.

Ready to book? Jump straight into Open Call, a private space rental, or a performance rental.

Members only: SS+ members can apply to the ShapeShifter Sponsored Projects Network (SSPN) for fiscal sponsorship, grant eligibility, and fundraising infrastructure under our 501(c)(3) umbrella — with or without a ShapeShifter Lab booking.

Open Call applications autosave when you enter an event title. Reopen unfinished work here anytime until you submit. After your show is marked completed, that slot opens for another booking.

Concurrent Open Call slots: Community / free up to 3 at a time · Supporter and higher up to 5 at a time. Application → Live → Closeout. Tap a card to continue.
