Taking up a residency can be one of the most inspiring and rewarding opportunities for cultural practitioners and artists. Our residency programmes focus on professional development, artistic exchange and facilitating artistic research and processes. We believe conceptualising and making new work in a different location and context nurtures creative thinking, promotes experimentation and offers new perspectives. Often offering opportunities to collaborative with others, residencies allow artists’ practices to thrive and unfold. We work across forms including dance, visual arts, music, technology, theatre, journalism and more.
