Make a Start residencies are 1- to 2-week in-studio residencies designed for new or early-stage developments and creative experiments.

We’re looking for risk—ideas that put you outside your comfort zone and stretch your artistic practice; and projects that are challenging choreographic thinking and exploring new experimental approaches to dance practice.

These residencies take place outside of LGI’s office hours on weekends and evenings. Studio space permitting, they may be during office hours.

Who can apply?
– Choreographers, trained dancers, recent graduates, and dance artists with a track record of creating work.
– LGI encourages applications from artists identifying as First Nations, CALD, Deaf or Disabled, and LGBTQIA+.
– Applications can be made by individuals, collectives, or companies.
