Scottish Youth Theatre & Dundee Rep- Making Space

Making Space is a residency programme supporting young artists aged 18 – 25 from across art-forms who want to develop their own theatre performance. The Making Space residency offers time, space and guidance, leading up to a work-in-progress presentation at a high-profile Scottish venue. The residency is open to solo artists or collectives of 2 or 3 aged between 18 – 25, interested in making performance work.
This can be across any genre: in no particular order this could be… devised performance, new writing or re-imagining existing texts, solo performance, spoken word, physical theatre, dance and visual theatre, contemporary circus [although aerial work is not possible at this time], live art, durational performance… and anything in between.

Any theatre maker can apply – you might identify as a performer, director, poet, playwright, choreographer, designer, devisor, live-artist, performance artist… or something else.

The residency at each venue is designed to be flexible to support you and your artistic ambitions. Development space – bookings can be flexible to take into account educational, work or family commitments, provided the project outcomes are met within the timescales set.

A travel budget will be available to help you get to Dundee Rep or Scottish Youth Theatre should you require it, but you should be able to travel to and from the residency easily in one day i.e. no overnight accommodation will be offered.
