QL2 Dance offers Curated Residencies to a wide range of artists from emerging to established career. Curated Residencies provide space in our theatre or studio without charge, and may also include other support. There is no cash component paid to Residents.

All Curated Residency applications are assessed by the Artistic Director in response to project proposals. We strongly encourage applicants to discuss their project with our Artistic Director before making a formal application.

Curated Residencies create opportunities for emerging to established career artists and associates, to develop and present new works, and provide access to process and workshops for local dancers.

TO APPLY

We will need to have:

  1. A one-paragraph description of the overall project

  2. What the purpose of this phase is

  3. Who else will be involved

  4. A statement about how you and young dancers and/or associates will benefit from it being here, or how it will benefit your own dance practice

  5. A timetable of what space access you are asking for (in consultation with us as to what might be available)

  6. Notes on what other resources you are asking for (eg theatre technical equipment, use of the theatre as a public venue, mentoring, marketing)

YOUR OBLIGATIONS

If you receive a Curated Residency you need to:

  1. Actually use the space at the times agreed — and tell us as soon as possible if you will need less or different time.

  2. Acknowledge our support in any publication, program, online notice etc.  EG  “This project is / I am supported by a Curated Residency from QL2 Dance, Canberra”

  3. Write a short report for us after the residency, setting out what you achieved and what if any difference the Curated Residency made.
