BLANK CANVAS 2011 - DEADLINE EXTENDED !!!

Date: 24 Sep 2010
BLANK CANVAS is a professional dance residency programme at the Firkin Crane open to professional dance artists already making their career in dance. The residency provides a platform for incubation time and space to research, develop and explore creative ideas without emphasis on a finished production.

For 2011 BLANK CANVAS is inviting applications with emphasis on exploring duet work. Dance artists may apply to work with an artist from another artistic medium as part of a duet exploration. In this case, we would encourage a physical interactive element be explored as part of the residency. It is also possible to submit an application as an individual artist with an aspiration to work with local professional artists to form a duet. The BLANK CANVAS Dance Team can assist in suggesting suitable collaborators.

BLANK CANVAS works in partnership with each artist to support the needs of their residency subject to resources available and would like to acknowledge the Arts Council of Ireland for its continuous support of the programme.
