After a decade of successful residency programs, Boston Dance Alliance and Boston Center for the Arts have teamed up to create their newly-designed Boston Dancemakers Residency. Devised to provide two Boston-area artists with resources to research, develop and present original works of dance, the residency encourages dancemakers to take risks, invest time and focus on ensemble work, and dive deeply into the creative process.

Each residency grantee will be awarded a fully-paid three day retreat for up to seven people, an intensive including six weeks of free rehearsal and performance space at the Boston Center for the Arts, and a fully-produced showcase.  Lead artists must be residents of the Boston metropolitan area (within route 495).

This information session will include a studio tour at the BCA Calderwood Pavilion. Potential Boston Dancemaker Residency applicants who cannot attend may arrange to view the space at a mutually convenient time.
