Lack of accessible rehearsal space in big cities is what spawned garage bands, choir practice in the cafeteria, and probably a lot of site-specific theatre. At small, private liberal arts colleges where the price of real estate is some absurd fraction of that in The City, though, you'd imagine students would have their pick of comfortable practice rooms, or at least regular, reliable access to the existing ones. At Oberlin College, though, a group of students has just in the last week managed to punch through the fourth wall of administrative reticence with the inauguration of two new rehearsal studios.
The students, who make up the SPACE committee, have been fighting for these studios for the last year.
