FRASERSTUDIOS PROJECT – Studio 14

A new multi-disciplinary art space, produced for Frasers Property by Queen Street Studio

Frasers Property have 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 will be temporarily transformed into a multidisciplinary art space, produced by Queen Street Studio. (» Where is this project?)

Part of this initiative is a Performing Arts Residency Program that will offer free workspace at Studio 14 for Sydney-based performing artists from January 2009 to September 2009. The residency will be one-week to three-weeks in length – with 9 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 will be open to professional artists and groups (emerging and established) encompassing a diverse range of practises and outcomes.

All artists must come from NSW with priority given to local performing artists (defined as inner-city Sydney) whose practice has been disrupted by development in the local community.

The program takes a very broad view of the term performing arts and may include but is not limited to theatre, physical theatre, sound, contemporary performance, new media, CCD, dance, inter-arts, voice, text and cabaret.
