Dance Residency: Final Tuning - Winter 2025

Overview

The Final Tuning residency offers two dance companies the time, space, and resources in a spectacular mountain setting to take their previously developed work to the next stage. Selected companies will receive access to a Banff Centre dance studio for three weeks to work on rehearsing their proposed project. During the second and third weeks, artists will have access to either the recently renovated Jenny Belzberg Theatre, or the Margaret Greenham Theatre (as assigned), to begin implementing technical elements into their projects. Both companies will be given the opportunity to present their work (or work-in-progress) to the public.

What does the program offer?

Selected projects will work with Banff Centre’s dance faculty and production teams in applying final production elements to their work (lights, music, projection, costumes, etc.). You will enjoy hands-on engagement with the faculty - dramaturgy, choreography, sound composition, and other design  – to assist in putting together your project. The two companies will work in the theatre in repertory and have the opportunity to fine-tune and present a performance to a public audience. You will also have access to professional production photographs taken of your work for your portfolio.

Who should apply?

Emerging and/or established choreographers and dance companies, working in any form, seeking to work on the finishing touches of their projects. They should have a project and choreography at a late stage of development and be ready to work on layering in elements of lights, projections, sound, etc. for production on the stage. We invite applications from around the world. Please complete the program budget template to demonstrate that you understand the full costs of the residency and have all additional funding in place required to attend, or a clear plan to obtain funding.

Program dates: February 03 - February 22, 2025
