FraserStudios Performing Arts Residency Program 2010
APPLICATIONS: CLOSED
APPLICANTS WERE NOTIFIED: Monday 1 February 2010
FraserStudios PERFORMING ARTS RESIDENCY Program in Studio 14 offers FREE workspace for Sydney-based performing artists. The residencies vary from one-week to four-weeks in length.
In 2008 Frasers Property introduced a new initiative to make creative use of otherwise vacant warehouse space in the old Kent Brewery development site on Broadway. From September 2008, three warehouses at 10-14 Kensington Street, Chippendale have been temporarily transformed into a multidisciplinary art space, managed and produced by Queen Street Studio.
As part of this initiative Queen Street Studio offered a Performing Arts Residency Program that provided free workspace in Studio 14 for Sydney-based performing artists from February 2010 to November 2010. The residencies vary from one-week to three-weeks in length, with 10 residencies in total.
The aim of the residency program is to support artistic development and expression through a diversity of performing art practises. The residencies were open to professional artists and groups (emerging or established) encompassing a diverse range of practises and outcomes. All artists must come from NSW and priority was 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, inter-arts and voice.
In 2010 the Performing Arts Residency program offered successful applications a small stipend of $500 per week to help with the overall cost of the artist/s expenses while in the space. For example, this stipend could have assisted with travel costs, equipment hire and admin costs etc. It was not a wage.
Please Note: This stipend WAS NOT given to funded projects.
