Deep Space Residency Application

DEEP SPACE is a performance residency program for artists and ensembles who are making daring work along the fringes of the mainstream. NACL supports new works at various stages of development that can benefit from extended time at our residency center.

THE DEADLINE FOR CONSIDERATION FOR 2026 RESIDENCIES HAS PASSED.

We accept applications on a rolling basis throughout the year.
The deadline for 2027 residencies is January 31st, 2026.

RESIDENCY DETAILS

Residencies are typically one week long, and culminate in a public sharing with an invited audience. This presentation takes place regardless of the stage of development and can be in the form of a completed performance or preview, a work-in-progress, staged reading, demonstration/discussion, or whatever best serves the artistic process. Projects at more advanced stages will require bringing your own technicians and designers, as required by the work.

IF YOU OR YOUR COMPANY WOULD LIKE TO BE CONSIDERED FOR A FUTURE RESIDENCY, PLEASE COMPLETE THE FORM BELOW.
