Chicago Cultural Center Dance Studio Residency

Open Studio events are free, informal, and open to the public. They allow for milestones moments and processes to be shared, and can take the form of artist talks, works-in-progress, story circles, workshops, topical panels and other activities.

The Chicago Cultural Center Dance Studio Residency opportunity was developed in the Year of Chicago Dance (2022) to provide a resource and support the development of new dance works in response to clear and consistent need within the community. The program offers time, space and funding: awarded projects receive up to $25,000 and 80 hours of rehearsal in the Chicago Cultural Center’s first floor Dance Studio. With a focus on paying ensemble and creative team members, the program helps to make more visible the often invisible labor of developing performance. It is also structured to trust artists: dancemakers apply with a vision, and the Dance Studio becomes the place to test and explore their ideas without the expectation of a finished product.

The space will be available on the second Tuesday of each month*

FREE.
