Residencies

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. Residencies provide opportunities to collaborate with others, allowing artistic practices to develop and thrive. We work across various artforms including dance, visual arts, music, technology, theatre, journalism.

Here you can find our current residencies.
