Studio Residency at Tracks Dance Company

In response to the ongoing challenge of accessible space for the development of dance practice, Tracks is again offering an opportunity for Northern Territory dance artists to use our dance studio, free of charge, to work on contemporary choreographic development, either through research or development.

Why not make the most of this wet season to work in our air-conditioned studio. Availability will be organised in consultation around Tracks Dance’s scheduled working periods. There is no requirement to complete a work. However, there will be a showing and forum of the artist’s development with a small group of industry peers.

This residency is not for commercial practice, such as classes or for rehearsals for funded projects. Dance artists of all backgrounds are encouraged to apply. There is no money attached to this opportunity.

Availability
Tracks Dance Studio has some times available from Nov 25th 2013 until March 26th.

Eligibility
Contemporary dance artists living or working in the Northern Territory pursuing an innovative practice are eligible to apply.

Criteria
Successful artists are chosen on the basis of the quality and innovation of work, and the potential benefits to the applicant and to the broader community. Decisions are ultimately subject to the availability of the studio.
