On Residence with Dancehouse is Punctum’s response to our local and global collective experience of collaboration and resource sharing that builds robust opportunities for regional artists. It is also informed by the climate emergency setting in which we all live and work, where connecting and forming stronger networks and deeper relationships is essential.

This paid opportunity is flexible and adaptable. It moves with artists, their project, and partner’s specific contexts to support the research and development of practice and new dance works

With the ability to expand in the future, Dancehouse and Punctum offer On Residence as a key pathway for artists to develop work and/ or establish relationships and connections to communities, practices and partners. The program draws on Punctum’s experience cultivating similar meaningful, long term alliances.

The PunctumXDancehouse On Residence opportunity is for regionally-based artists undertaking experiments that connect with one or many layers of place.
