Eligibility/Selection Criteria
APPLICANT ELIGIBILITYThe BLANK CANVAS residency is open to individuals, companies, collaborative and cross art-form projects and groups, contingent on their meeting the eligibility criteria:
1. the full involvement of one or more practicing, professional dance artists.
'Practicing dance artist', for the purposes of this residency, is defined as ‘an individual, with professional dance training, who makes their career in dance’
2. where the proposal is for a collaborative project, the main focus is on dance explorations.
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. 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.
