Performing Arts Residency at The Banff Centre, Canada

Overview

The Performing Arts Department at Banff Centre is committed to the commissioning, development, and production of new works in all major performance disciplines. Typically projects fall into one of the two following categories:

• Creation Residency: A program to develop a new work in its initial creation phase in Banff Centre's studios.
• Production Residency: A program to develop a new work in its production phase in Banff Centre's theatres and concert hall.

What does the program offer?

Banff Centre offers a range of work spaces and facilities depending on participants' needs and availability. Artists can create in our dance and fully-equipped music studios, performance venues (including two theatres, a concert hall, and a cabaret-style club), as well as theatre production and design shops (set, costumes, lighting, and sound).

Who should apply?

We invite project proposals from individual artists, artistic collectives, and companies. Artists at various stages of artistic practice are encouraged to apply, whether they are at the conceptual stage, ready for development and production, or preparing for presentation.

Residency Dates

Residencies for accepted applicants will take place between September 2017 and March 2018 with specific dates to be confirmed upon acceptance. Please apply by January 25, 2017.
