Tasdance has a long history of supporting dance practice and dance artists. The tranquil setting of Tasdance’s spacious studio, charming cottage and heritage garden provides artists with much needed time and space for reflection, invigoration, collaboration and response. Tasmanian regional practice is full of inspiration, an opportunity to unlock new ideas.

The Tasdance Residency for Independent Practice (TRIP) established in 2013 and is far more than a generous allocation of time in a studio. The program allows artists to take full advantage of everything Tasmania has to offer from the rugged coastline of the West Coast, to the world heritage forest of the central plateau, to MONA in Hobart.

TRIP celebrates everything Tasdance, a leading provider of choreographic opportunities; and, celebrates everything Tasmanian, the bespoke state of Australia.

Tasdance has up to 10 weeks to offer artists in 2020 starting from May 11th.

Artists who apply will be assessed by the Artistic Director and the Artistic Advisory Committee on their answers to the questions found in the application form.

APPLICATION DEADLINE IS: FRIDAY, MARCH 6th MIDNIGHT
