Grotto 101 is a 650 square feet intimate performance workshop lab, rehearsal space, and modular studio and meeting space for theater, music, photography, film and other creative arts located in South Austin.

Grotto 101 is an intentional and community-focused space for intimate gatherings and smaller-sized performances with limited capacity. Space can only be accessed through reservations, appointments and RSVP-only events.

We specifically favor performance artists and those who wish to explore and create new experimental works.

We also welcome poets, writers, musicians, dancers, comics, improv theater artists, arts teachers, photographers and other visual artists.

We aim to offer public events and more opportunities in the years to come and as we grow. Please do check back often.

Grotto 101 is the performance home of Sapien Ceremonies LLC.

Currently, she is having reconstructivist ideologies about websites and the very nature of cyber-existence itself. She likes to make art with her friends here and here.
