    (Please also look at the Criteria for Selection).

    Think of the following questions as prompts—not as a list of things to tick off. We want to hear your passions/thoughts/aspirations.

    1. How does your work align or intersect with PWNW’s mission to advance experimentation in contemporary performance? Why is PWNW the place for YOU at this time in your life?
    You might include any interest in the questioning of artistic form or content, hybridity, open-endedness, exploration, how your process addresses the unknown.


    2. What are your artistic desires and/or goals, especially for the residency period?

    Other ways to think about this question: (a) What moves you to make the work you make? You might address any motivations, intentions, or inspirations that are a critical part of your artistic process as a whole or for the proposed residency.
    (b) Describe any concepts, materials, subjects, processes, structures, or questions central to your work.

  • 0/500
  • WORK SAMPLE and INFO

    Prepare 1 or 2 samples of a selection from a of previous or in-progress work, 5-7 minutes total viewing time.
  •  You can submit finished work(s), work-in-progress, or a video sketch of work in the studio.

    No short clips as in promo reels. Please make sure each cut or section is at least 2 minutes continuous, not jumping around from high point to high point.

    We cannot guarantee that the panel will watch more than 2 minutes of each sample. So choose cue point(s) with that in mind. However, having a longer section available—in case the panel wants to view further—is a good idea!

    YouTube or Vimeo links preferred–or possibly some other online platform. The work should as best as possible represent your current areas of investigation.
