The Dragon's Egg is the rehearsal space recently built by the Mystic Paper Beasts Theatre Company. It is a freestanding, hexagonal
building sited at the end of a tree encircled field in the countryside of Ledyard, Ct. The studio space measures 2,000 square
feet. The floor is a sprung floor with subfloor heating. An additional 1200 sq. ft. comprises the living, changing, shower
space. There are available a television/vcr, an upright piano, a rice cooker, coffee maker, small refrigerator, and two swings.
The Beasts use the space for their own rehearsal and training. Marya also teaches weekly yoga classes in the space, year round, and the Beasts occasionally offer public workshops in mask and performance.
The Dragon's Egg is also available for short term workshops for which the presenter charges a fee. In this case the Beasts
collect $10 per hour or 15% of the collected fee, whichever is higher, or per negotiation. The subject of such workshops must
be in the field of the performing arts, or of practices that might support the health and well being of the performing artist.
Potential presenters must submit a proposal, as above, describing the nature and intent of the activity, the qualifications
of the presenter, the desired time slot, the fee to be charged, the minimum/maximum number of participants, and proof of liability
insurance. The proposal is submitted to the Board, who retain the right to accept or reject any proposal without identifying
a reason for their decision. Please see the guidelines for use of the Egg.
