Performing Arts Residency Program 2012

CLOSED: 12 January 2012
APPLICANTS NOTIFIED: 3 February 2012

Queen Street Studio again offered a Performing Arts Residency Program offering free workspace in STUDIO 14 and HEFFRON HALL for Sydney-based performing artists from February 2012 to November 2012.

The residencies will vary from one-week to three-weeks in length, with 10 residencies in total. The aim of the residency program is to support artistic and/or professional development through a diversity of performing art practises. The residencies will be open to professional artists individuals and groups (emerging or established) encompassing a diverse range of practises and outcomes. All artists must come from NSW and priority will be given to local performing artists (defined as inner-city Sydney). The program takes a very broad view of the term performing arts and may include — but is not limited to — dance, theatre, digital arts and cross-disciplinary collaborations.

In 2012 the Performing Arts Residency program will be offering successful applications a small stipend of $600 per week to help with the overall cost of the artist/s expenses while in the space. For example, the stipend could help pay your rent, travel costs or equipment hire. It is not meant to be a wage.
