Expression of Interest

The annual Performing Lines TAS artist residency is an opportunity for Tasmanian performing arts practitioners, be they writers, choreographers, dancers, directors, actors, theatre makers or any live art practitioners and collaborators to come together in a supportive, creative environment to test ideas, consider new collaborations and explore cross artform possibilities.

This 3-day, 2-night event at Tarraleah in the Tasmanian highlands is an opportunity to be completely immersed in a creative space with supportive colleagues and world class mentors.
The weekend will include;
– 20×20 presentations of participant projects ideas;
– working with mentors in groups and one-on-one;
–  optional morning warm ups;
– informal networking and skill workshops;
– accomodation, transport and evening meals.
 
 Expressions of interest will be reviewed by a curatorial panel who will take into consideration the calibre of the artist(s), the idea and a range of other balancing issues including artforms, geography, and experience to ensure the right mix of people for a vibrant weekend. Both individuals and groups* (up to 3 members) may apply to attend. *additional group members will be required to pay a higher contribution to attend.

Tips for Applicants
Please follow the word count suggestions.  EOI's with very little detail are difficult to assess and applications that go way over the suggested word length will be cut off before being sent to the selection panel.
We have had feedback from previous applicants that they would like to receive a copy of their EOI after sending it to us. Unfortunately, our system doesn’t allow for this, so if you want to keep a copy, we advise you to draft your responses in a separate document you copy into this survey.
