Ancillary Project
Since this residency project's inception in 2019, Dance West Network has developed an Ancillary Project that offers everyone who applies - and are not selected for the residency - with some resources.
Each year is different, depending on available funding, but we are usually able to offer the artists a modest stipend, access to some free rehearsal hours, meetings with project consultants, and sometimes funds for to cover written documentation and/or pay a mentor of their choice to work with the artist for creative and career guidance.
We offer available resources to everyone who applies as encouragement, as belief in the importance of their work, and to help artists persevere and keep going with their artistic imaginings to develop their work.
- Jane Gabriels, Dance West Network's Executive Director
