dance Immersion & Tarragon Theatre are partnering on an exciting new residency mentorship program – The Dance/Theatre/Music (DTM) Creation Lab!
From June 16 – June 28, 2025, four Black-identifying artists selected from this open call will receive high-level visioning and guidance from five established performing arts professionals as they develop a work that integrates movement, text, and song. The residency will take place at Tarragon Theatre, Toronto, and culminate in an in-formal showing of the works-in-progress to an invited audience.
This is a paid residency opportunity, with each of the four selected residents receiving $2,170 ($35/hour x 62 hours), inclusive of HST.
