LiftOff Artists are invited to participate in in-person and Zoom Work Sessions. Sharing creative process, project development, and community exchange on the last Monday of every month from 6pm-9pm.
Interested artists must comply with studio regulations:
The studio is available Monday-Friday 10 am-6 pm. Since the studio is located within a private loft, NDA aims to book only 4 hours of rehearsal per day. While space may be available on the studio calendar, if an artist(s) has already booked 4 hours, no more rehearsal can be booked on that day. Please find more details about the studio here.
The LiftOff Residency is FREE. If you are able, please consider making a donation to support the continuation and development of our programs.
Past LiftOff Artists are not eligible to apply.

Congratulations on your Performance Mix #34: Remotely Yours initiative. I hope you all feel delighted with the experience. I must admit that it challenged me to do something a little bit out of my zone. But I am quite happy with the outcome. The first project featuring my son! It will be an unforgettable moment when we will look back at it in a few years.
