4 RESIDENCIES - 2 WEEKS OF IN-KIND VENUE - $6000 PER RESIDENCY
Artists need space to make and create. In responding to the demand to test and seed ideas, to ensure viability – socially, culturally and artistically, is incredibly important for innovative practice. To try, and to potentially fail, adjust, re-consider and re-make is vital to innovation. This is the future of robust dance making
The Creative Funded Residencies provide 4 dance, physical theatre or multidisciplinary artists, or collectives, 2 weeks of space each with a cash contribution of $6000 per project. These residencies will specifically focus on exploration and process. They allow space and time for artists to turn initial ideas into structure, methodology and aesthetic palette, in readiness for larger opportunities, EOI’s, funding bids and grant applications.
This program champions adaptability, flexibility and rigorous practice.
No formal outcomes, showings or sharings are required with the residency, rather the residency is to focus on pure creative discovery.

Emerging or established artists looking to deep dive into an existing project or body of work.

Rooted in the artist's trips to the Philippines, Bugas (Milled Rice) examines the cultural nuances that shape identity, perceiving rice as a vessel of nostalgic past and a means to question our perspectives and cultural influences.
Cecilia Martin
Cecilia Martin & her collaborators will embark on a new work that asks: "what do we do with our rage?".

Rachel Arianne Ogle and Fred Leone

Soleil Harvey
Traversing live improvised sound and movement, ‘SEED’ navigates the filters and preconceived notions through which we present and perceive our bodies. An ode to the self, an homage to the body, and an inquiry into the human gaze, ‘SEED’ plays in the uncomfortable tension between wanting to be perceived and the reality of being objectified.
