Apply for the TMT Institute Fellowship

The TMT Institute is a small cohort of artists who seek to radically disrupt and re-examine their practice. It is a place where artists can challenge and question themselves, try new directions in any way at all, without any expectation of result or success.

Each Fellow brings their own questions and ideas, which TMT supports with space, material resources and a $2,000 stipend.

Institute Fellows gather for three short intensive sessions to help each Fellow advance this process. The group shares this conversation, but each Fellow has their own individual practice and each Fellow seeks their own course as they reinvent it. In between intensive meetings we have a monthly breakfast and go on occasional excursions to keep our conversation growing. After the second intensive, each Fellow is encouraged to define and commit to an exploration that they can pursue outside of the group gatherings. Target Margin supports these experiments with space and people and other resources. Fellows share their progress and evolution as we continue to gather. At the end of the season TMT hosts an “open studio” to invite our community of artists and neighbors to share in what we have been exploring. This is not a performance; it can be a conversation, notes, a demonstration, or simply the Fellow’s presence to discuss their work with anyone interested.

Requirements

The Institute is open to artists from any discipline within or outside of theater, and is also open to production, technical, and administrative workers in the arts. Fellows must have a mature practice in the arts which they are committed to changing.

Fellows must be available in person for the following dates in Brooklyn, NY:

Intensive Sessions at Target Margin Theater
October 27, 28, 29: all day with some evening hours
January 4, 5, 6: all day with some evening hours
March 22, 23, 24: all day with some evening hours

On the first Monday of the month, Fellows meet for breakfast at Junior’s in Brooklyn to share thoughts, questions, and experience. Our first breakfast will be Monday, November 6th.

From time to time, we organize excursions to performance, artistic, or other cultural events, to feed our thinking.

As the year proceeds, Fellows schedule their own explorations or experiments which Target Margin will support.
