  • Boston Dancemakers Residency 2026-2027

    APPLICATION FORM
  • Our goal is to gather a diverse and inclusive community of artists for the purpose of supporting innovative work across disciplines, connecting artists with peers and resources, and providing a vibrant platform for new art in Boston.

    Applications will be evaluated by guest panelists on the proposed concept of work to be developed during the residency, potential impact on the growth of the dancemakers career and risk taken in the creative process, and the clarity of work shown in application materials and overall capacity to bring a concept from idea to presentation.

    Experimentation. We support artistic work that displays innovation and openness to new ideas, perspectives, and techniques.

    Responsiveness. In the process of supporting new and innovative work, we value ideas that are relevant to contemporary interests and conversations.

    Community engagement. We encourage an artistic practice that engages meaningfully with the ecosystem where it exists through collaboration and exchange among artists and audiences.

    Potential impact. We seek to support artists for whom our involvement has the potential to propel their practice creating a path for growth artistically and professionally.
