Uillinn: West Cork Arts Centre accepts expressions of interest from dancers, choreographers and dance companies wishing to realise their work from idea to performance at Uillinn Dance Studio.
The dance studio provides space for artists to engage in a programme of work to interact with other artists in residence, exhibiting artists, our public and our unique rural location at research, development and production stages.
Uillinn provides a vibrant creative hub and an extensive programme of exhibitions, performances and events. There is a strong emphasis on making connections, networking and working with our geographical, social and community contexts. Priority is given to artists who show a strong commitment to public and audiences and proposals that show relevance to our venue location and facilities.
The Residency programme offers practical supports including studio space, key holder privileges, wifi, café facilities, technical and administrative support. The Dance Studio is located on Level 3 of Uillinn, is 56 metres square and is fully accessible throughout. It is double height and equipped with sprung wooden floor, marley, mirrors, barre and sound system. Changing room with shower is available on Level 4. Weekend and evening access can be facilitated.
This is a non-accommodation residency. Uillinn does not offer a stipend for the duration of these studio Research or Production Residency Awards. It is recommended that artists apply to their own Arts Councils, Local Authorities etc to source funding for accommodation, travel and expenses.
