Residencies | Works & Process

PAID RESIDENCIES

Each year, Works & Process produces more than 25 paid, creative residencies via a network of over a dozen partner venues in seven states. Artists and projects are curated as well as selected through an open call. Residency support can span the entire life of a project, from first explorations in the studio to final rehearsals for the premiere, and even touring.

A cornerstone of its support for the creative process, in tandem with a commitment to building collaboration across the arts ecosystem, Works & Process residencies center artists and their specific needs, providing them with focused time and space that is critical to develop work. Each residency supports up to eight artists for seven days. Each artist receives an industry-leading fee of $175 per day ($1,225 per week). New this year, each lead artist will receive an additional $1,000 fee in recognition of their administrative labor. Residencies also include 24/7 studio access, on-site housing, a travel stipend, and health insurance enrollment access. Awarded residencies will take place 2026–2027 and may be used to start a new project or continue developing an existing work.

To date, Works & Process has produced 100+ residencies that have supported 1,000+ artists, incubating works that have been recognized with Bessie Awards, National Dance Project grants, and toured nationally and internationally with the U.S. State Department.

In Spring 2026, professional choreographers were invited to apply for the Open Call, capped at 300 applications, which were reviewed by a panel comprised of Works & Process staff including Caroline Cronson, Duke Dang and Caleb Teicher, board member Virginia Johnson, along with Renae Williams Niles and Omari Wiles.
