-The program supports 2 projects in their early stages of development. Proposed projects should not have been previously premiered.
-The program provides selected artists with 3 weeks to dive into a generative process that will culminate in the premiere and presentation of the new work in 4 public performances in LADP’s theater space.
-The residency will take place from March 13, 2023 - April 2, 2023. Residency hours will take place Monday-Friday from 9:30am-5:00pm, except during the third week where the schedule will shift in preparation for the performances.
Selected Participants Receive:
-Selected artists will receive 3 weeks of rehearsal space in LADP’s 2245 studios.
-A stipend of $3,000 for the artist plus a $2,750 production stipend, which includes the use of LAUNCH:LA’s lighting designer, to be used at the artist’s discretion to compensate dancers and collaborators and any other production needs such as scenic, sound, and costume design.
