THE DJD DANCE CENTRE
CREATIVE RESIDENCY PROGRAM

About the Program

The DJD Dance Centre Creative Residency Program is a program that aims to support independent dance artists in Calgary and nationwide. The residency program has been created to support the research, development, and/or final phase of production for independent choreographers working on specified, self-directed projects that are targeted for production. During the residency, artists will have access to one studio at the DJD Dance Centre free of charge for the duration of their residency. This program is designed to allow choreographers to work and grow in a concentrated manner and with as few limits as possible to the choreographer’s creative energies.
