Field Artist Residency
The Field Artist Residency supports the creative endeavors of artists as they work toward an upcoming production. The program aims to alleviate the financial and logistical burden of the 'space chase' so that artists focus can on their creative process.

For $325 participants receive:
> More than 65 hours of rehearsal space
> One individual consultation with The Field

This summer will be a little bit different - there will be more resident artists and more time. Nine artists will be selected to develop their work with the support of a regular rehearsal schedule. Participants receive three months of rehearsal space and an individual consultation at The Field. Artists can use the residency to begin a new piece, rehearse an existing work, or engage in related creative processes that will move them toward a solid performance run. A consultation is offered for feedback on written materials, or to discuss project planning, goals, working challenges, fundraising or marketing plans, or other topics.

The program is currently only open to dance artists. Eligible applicants have a full or half-evening performance date confirmed with a theater (or other venue open to the public) between September 5, 2010 and September 19, 2011. Both self-produced and presented productions are welcome. You do not have to be a Field Member to apply.

"It has been such a gift to have six hours a week of low-cost space to dedicate to my art. I hope this program continues into the future indefinitely."
- Daniel Linehan, choreographer
