THE DJD DANCE CENTRE
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.
Key Dates:
The submission deadline for 2023 Creative Residency Applications has passed. Please check back for our next call for submissions in early 2024.
Who is Eligible
Priority will be given to mid-career and established independent artists with a proven track record and a solid project proposal. Priority will also be given to independent artists not specifically associated with an established dance organization (charitable or for-profit). Emerging choreographers are also encouraged to apply and may be granted shorter windows of residency time based on availability.
