BCA's Boston Dancemakers Residency seeking applications

Boston Center for the Arts' Boston Dancemakers Residency is now seeking applications from choreographers, dancers, and other movement artists from the greater Boston area. This robust residency is designed to support new work from conception to performance and assist artists in taking their artistry to the next level.

Produced through a partnership between Boston Center for the Arts (BCA) and Boston Dance Alliance (BDA), this intensive residency is unique in scope and vision, with the intent to be transformational rather than transactional.

Choreographers participating in this comprehensive and competitive program receive support for research, development, rehearsal, production support, marketing, and mentorship. The residency provides a regional three-day retreat, eight weeks of intensive studio time, access to discounted rehearsal space, a choreographer stipend, rehearsal pay for up to six dancers, and a showcase of the work created.

Two residents will be selected for the 2022—2023 season for eight weeks or an equivalent of fi!y-six days of rehearsal and performance time. This program is open to a range of dance genres and movement-based artists. BCA welcomes applications from choreographers based in the Greater Boston area (within route 495).

Artists of color, artists whose original work is based on culturally specific dance forms, and those working in non-proscenium formats are especially encouraged to apply.

Application deadline is Sunday, May 22, 2022 by 11:59pm
