Residencies
The Firkin Crane aims to provide a supportive environment in which to germinate creative endeavours and to build bridges between artists, allowing for research and exploration, professional exchange, project development, performance opportunities and artistic growth. There will be space and time for the artist's voice to be heard, supported by the staff and facilities of the Firkin Crane.To optimise the mutual benefit to the visiting artist and to the Firkin Crane, and to avoid any sense of isolation for the artist, the Firkin Crane is as collaborative as possible. There are opportunities to engage with dance professionals (experienced, emerging & student) and others interested in the visiting artist’s body of work. For example; the resident artist may give a workshop, a presentation or other as is appropriate.
The particular circumstances of each residency will vary depending on the individual application and the category under which the residency falls.
The Firkin Crane’s current residency programme is Blank Canvas, which provides a framework that is artist-focused, allowing her/him to define the concept, process, timescale, and delivery platform of each project.
