OVERVIEW
At the heart of The Work Room (TWR) is our programme of supported, choreographic residencies. These are for members to explore ideas and projects through experimentation and creative processes, from research through to production, according to the needs and requirements of each artist.
Founded 15 years ago by artists whose practices and perspectives reflect the diversity of what dance and human experience can be, our core values are Generosity, Inclusion and Experimentation. The Work Room is committed to ensuring an expansive range of artists and artistic practices are resourced and recognised across all our work.
CHANGES TO OUR APPROACH & INFO SESSION
Over the last few years, we have been adjusting our programme and artist support offer. Knowing that flexibility is key for members in the challenging circumstances of today, we are continuing to offer simpler and more responsive approaches to residencies. In this call out, we continue to welcome proposals that might be undertaken ‘at home’ or in spaces closer to where you live, residency time that is flexible around caring responsibilities and other commitments, as well as supporting research in an outdoor environment.
The number of questions you will need to respond to in your application has also been reduced.
We will hold an INFORMATION SESSION on Zoom on Tuesday 1 April from 11:30 am to discuss our approach to residencies and answer general questions about applying. Email hello@theworkroom.org.uk for the Zoom link.
