THE PERFORMANCE LAB RESIDENCY
APPLICATIONS NOW OPEN / DUE OCTOBER 5

APPLY NOW

​
​We offer up to 2 in-person companies/collectives/individual artists 25 hours of studio time each to research and workshop an in-development project. We will also consider 1 company/collective/individual artist for a digital mentorship and residency.

Adjudication is based on the state of the project as well as curation with other projects. Priority will be given to multidisciplinary projects. The Performance Lab Residency Program is intended for projects that have gone through the initial stages of development but have not yet had a full public presentation. The criteria for eligibility is open to discussion - if you feel like your project would benefit from this residency but feel it falls slightly outside the criteria, please contact us/apply and explain why.
 
This year, residency artists will receive one-on-one mentorship from Residency Mentor, Andrew Barrett. See the application form for more details
