Classic residency | Open to all artists

For this residency, they want to help artists create work that might struggle to find a ‘home’ elsewhere. Whilst Theatre Deli supports all emerging artists they are especially keen to support those whose artform sits outside of traditional theatre/performance work. e.g. performance art, interactive, gaming, immersive, dance, art activism.

There are four Classic Residencies available: two in Sheffield and two in London.

Two of the chosen applications will be randomly selected.

Each residency includes:

• £500 seed funding to support the development of your work

• Option of an in-person and/or recorded sharing
• Opportunity to receive mentoring support from Deli staff on areas such as dramaturgy, producing, marketing and fundraising.

Please note dates for London and Sheffield residencies are flexible but always subject to availability, they are looking for this round of residencies to take place before the end of this year. Artists must cover their own travel and accommodation.

Please only apply for one residency opportunity. Applications submitted to more than one opportunity will not be considered. Please carefully consider which opportunity best meets your needs. Whichever residency you apply for, you will be able to opt in to be entered into the draw for the randomly-selected Classic Residencies.

A panel will decide and announce the successful residencies on the 23rd June

 

Applications will be reviewed and successful applicants selected by panels in London and Sheffield including Theatre Deli staff, trustees and artists in our network.

They will base our decisions on the potential quality, novelty, and impact of the work you want to develop, with reference to both the diversity of people making work and the diversity of practice and themes in the arts industry, and specifically in Theatre Deli’s artist network and programme.
