LaunchPad Residencies

Works & Process is holding its first-ever open call for applications. NYC artists who create movement-based work are invited to apply for a residency to start a new project or continue developing an existing work in one of their week-long, out-of-town residencies. The residency package includes industry-leading fees of $150 per artist/per day (up to $8,400 for a maximum of 8 participants), 24/7 studio access, on-site housing, a transportation stipend, and health insurance enrollment access. In partnership with 92NY Dance Education Lab, a dance pedagogy workshop for the artists can be included during the residency upon request. Each residency will culminate in an open rehearsal or showing for the local community. The projects will also be considered for Works & Process presentation in New York City.

Applications will be accepted from March 18- April 22, 2025 at 5pm EST or until the submission limit of up to 250 applications is reached. We will award at least five residencies, which will take place between October 2025 - May 2026.
