Dance Ireland Residencies
Dance Ireland Residency Programme for Members without funding.
The Dance Ireland Residency Programme exists to support dance artists to create new dance work, engage in artistic research, and maintain a studio practice. Residencies are aimed at non-funded artists or projects. We offer support through wholly subsidised studio space at DanceHouse, Dublin.
Applications are made through an open call process and will be assessed by members of the Dance Ireland team and an artist representative.
Applications will be assessed on the information provided in the application form and on how well this meets the criteria as set out below. We give consideration to the distribution of opportunities across the sector.
We offer residencies of one-week duration, in our studios at DanceHouse, with advice and support from the Dance Ireland team and the option of a studio showing through our New Movements programme.
Studios available for residency are generally small studios, if a medium studio is requested we will try to accommodate, but it is dependent on availability. Residencies are offered as week-long blocks, Monday to Friday taking place during the day. Evening times are not possible. The following dates are available for residencies*:* In the application you may state if other dates suit you best and we will try to accomodate you if successful.
If you are offered a residency and cannot accept it at the time , it is non-transferable to the next open call.
