OPEN TO CLACKAMAS COUNTY DANCE ARTISTS!
HOW IT WORKS:
Apply by July 15, 2025
Each resident will have 2-3 opportunities to meet with the other residents to workshop their ideas, perform select pieces for one another, learn from one another, and support each other’s work.
Each resident receives up to 6 hours of rehearsal time per week. These will mostly be available between 8am and 4pm during the weekdays. Few exceptions can be made on a case by case basis.
Some type of final product will be showcased the last weekend of the residency. This showcase will be a 3-night, ticketed performance, produced by Chapel Theatre.
Applicants will be notified by August 15, 2026 for a residency start date of October 1, 2026.
NOTE: This residency does NOT include living space.
WHERE: Chapel Theatre is made up of two studios: Our annex space (4117 SE Harrison St Milwaukie OR) and our downstairs smaller studio (4107 SE Harrison St Milwaukie OR). Both studios have mirrors and barres. The annex has wood floors, the small studio has raised marley floors. The smaller studio is not ADA accessible. If your work includes special shoes, such as tap, you may need to use the downstairs marley floor rather than the annex studio. Again, this residency does NOT include living space.
