REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS
RESIDENCIES FROM APRIL 2018 - January 2019
DUE BY 5PM FEBRUARY 23, 2018
In Spring 2015, the Tisch Initiative for Creative Research launched a partnership with Catwalk Institute, offering residency opportunities for alumni, faculty, and staff. Catwalk provides a unique, low-tech environment for artists and scholars from the Tisch community to write, reflect, and create on Catwalk’s 70-acre property in Catskill, NY. Residents stay at the property in private living spaces with separate work spaces available for use across the property. Full use of the grounds is encouraged along with exploration of the Catskill and Hudson area. Projects that are collaborative and/or connect specifically to the region are especially appropriate for selection. While there are no traditional performance spaces or movement studios, site-specific performance works are encouraged.
We now invite proposals for residencies taking place between April 2018 - January 2019. Applications are due by 5pm on February 23, 2018.
Eligibility:
Applicants must have a graduate degree from NYU Tisch School of the Arts OR be on faculty at NYU Tisch School of the Arts
Tisch staff who are also alumni from a graduate program at Tisch are encouraged to apply
Requests must be for a minimum of two weeks
Collaborative teams are welcome and encouraged
Application Requirements:
- Due by 5pm on Friday, February 23, 2018
- Cover letter with date preferences (Tuesday-Sunday)
- One letter of reference
- Resume for each team member
- One page description of the work you are proposing while in residence. Please include:
- Where you are in process
- What you hope to achieve during your residency
- How being in residence in the Catskills relates to your project/process
- Whether the work you're proposing would be well-served by some kind of public component - a reading, a demonstration or roundtable discussion, an informal/studio presentation, etc. Although we cannot provide full production opportunities at this time, it will be helpful for the committee (and for Catwalk) to know whether and what kind of public engagement would help your process.
Selection Process*:
- A panel of Tisch faculty and staff will review and nominate approximately 15 proposals to be considered by Catwalk staff
- Catwalk staff will review nominated applications and contact artists directly with decisions
*Selection process and criteria developed by Tisch Initiave for Creative Research in partnership with Catwalk Institute.
