As a professional dancer in New York City, Sifra has always struggled to find affordable and suitable rehearsal space for her practice. The current process of searching and booking rehearsal spaces is incredibly time-consuming and inefficient. Sifra often finds herself navigating through multiple websites, trying to find available spaces that fit her schedule, budget, and specific requirements such as wifi, air conditioning, and self-entry access. This arduous task takes away valuable time and energy that could be better spent on honing her craft.

Sifra's experience highlights the need for a centralized platform that offers comprehensive information on available rehearsal spaces, making the search and booking process easier and more efficient for artists like her... and like YOU!

This is where Studio Space comes in... I'm Leah, Artistic Director of LEMI collective. I am collecting data via surveys for UX research to gain a deeper understanding of user behaviors, preferences, and needs in the context of LEMI's upcoming project, Studio Space, which is currently in the ideation phase.

Studio Space aims to provide artists with a comprehensive platform to discover, book, and manage rehearsal spaces. This research will help us shape Studio Space by identifying areas of frustration and barriers to finding space in NYC. Your input is invaluable in shaping the future of Studio Space, and your participation will contribute to making it a more effective and user-centered platform.

Thank you for being a part of this research effort!

This survey is anonymous, and should only take 5-10 minutes to complete.
