Field Artist Residency & Emerging Artist Residency: Applications Due Monday, March 8, 2010 

 

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. Three artists will be selected to develop their work with the support of a regular rehearsal schedule. 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.

For $225 participants receive:
 > More than 45 hours of rehearsal space
 > One individual consultation with The Field

Eligible applicants have a full or half-evening performance date confirmed with a theater (or other venue open to the public) within the coming year. Both self-produced and presented productions are welcome. 

Emerging Artist Residency
The Emerging Artist Residency program offers performing artists a supportive structure of resources, support, and guidance to allow them to delve fully into their creative work. A group of seven artists will be selected to develop their work with a regular supply of rehearsal space and workshops with fellow resident artists to discuss their projects and career development, and to exchange feedback on their work. Artists can use the residency in multiple ways, such as developing a new piece, taking an existing work to the next level, or experimenting with material for a potential new project. A showcase performance concludes the program.

For $350 participants receive:
> Over 65 hours of rehearsal space
> Residency Discussions to explore career development and goals
> Fieldwork sessions to show and discuss developing works
> $25 credit towards a Career Workshop
> Culminating performance at Dance Theater Workshop

Applicants must have worked professionally for at least three years and publicly presented two evening-length productions or a total of 120 minutes of work at different times throughout their career.
