The EOI is a simple questionnaire to enable us to find out about you, your practice and your project idea. The EOI should only take you 15 min if you have decided on your project idea.

A project idea is an idea for a new performance work that you hope to explore, or test over the course of the residency. It can be as basic or complex as you would like.

We are looking for creatives that are interested in pursuing a career in the performing arts and are from a culturally diverse background.

All participants are required to come into the space with a new project idea that they will unpack over the course of the residency.

Participants must be WA residents.
