Deadline EXTENDED: NOVEMBER 1, 2022 by 5pm
Continuing Exploring the Metropolis Choreographer + Composer
Residencies in a New Era as Redtail Artist Residencies
Redtail Artist Residencies grew out of the EtM Choreographer + Composer Residencies, a program of Exploring the Metropolis. This residency provides four choreographer/composer teams (8 artists total) with use of consistent, suitable rehearsal space over a three-month period to create new work. Each choreographer and each composer will receive an unrestricted stipend of $2,000. There is no requirement to complete a piece of work during the residency.
Choreographers may apply individually without a composer. However, as this is primarily a choreographic residency, a composer MUST apply with a choreographer and cannot apply as an individual. Dance collectives, collaborative choreography groups, and companies are also welcome to apply. This residency is open to choreographers and composers at any stage of their career.
Choreographer applicants must be at least 18 years old. Applicants must be residents of New York City as of the application deadline, OR have a significant, documented track record of artistic activity in Queens. Queens residents will be given preference for this residency. Previous Exploring the Metropolis artists are eligible to apply for this program.
