REDCAT/Roy and Edna Disney, CalArts Theater
631 West 2nd Street 
Los Angeles, CA 90012

REDCAT is a center for innovative performing, visual and media arts, which introduces diverse audiences and artists to the most influential developments in the arts from throughout the world, and provides Los Angeles artists with opportunities to develop new work. Opened in 2003 by the California Institute of the Arts, REDCAT is located in the Frank Gehry-designed Walt Disney Concert Hall complex in downtown Los Angeles. REDCAT features a flexible black box theater of 200 to 270 seats and a 3,000 square foot exhibition space.

REDCAT’s programming values artists who blur the boundaries between artistic disciplines, cross international borders in their collaborations, experiment with varied artistic traditions and invent or use new technology in developing new forms of expression. As many as 200 events are presented each year, including performances, screenings, discussions, readings, and exhibitions. The year-round programming is overseen by the Executive Director, often in collaboration with curatorial partners, including many affiliated with CalArts. Most artists are selected 12 to 18 months in advance. The gallery curator oversees all exhibition programs.
