The Details
As an In Residence artist at Brown’s Mart, you will be able to spend up to four paid weeks here to focus on your work. These could be between 9am-5pm, or out of office hours.
Brown’s Mart spaces available during your residency include the offices, rehearsal room, courtyard, and the Studio. We would encourage you to think flexibly about what spaces you might require as part of your In Residence Program, as many areas of the venue are often being used by others at certain times.
During your residency there should be at least 1 public outcome. This could be a work in progress showing, workshops, a community party – the choice is yours. This outcome also does not need to be tied to the work completed during your In Residence Program.
This program is open to any form of performing arts practice including music, theatre, dance, cultural performance forms, physical theatre, spoken word, and more.
Please note: Technical equipment such as Lighting, sound and projection is not within the scope of this program. Utilising the Brown’s Mart equipment may be available at an additional cost depending on availability.
