The only way to know each other is to spend time together.
The only way to for art to flourish is to do it.
In gaming, CrossPlay refers to the ability for players on different systems to come together and play simultaneously, expanding possibilities and creating new shared worlds.
In that spirit…
Our CrossPlay is for dance and music artists to be in the game of creating shared worlds. They are a cohort who are curious about how sound and movement live in their forms and influence each other, excited to connect with other artists across disciplines, across generations, across backgrounds, and open to improvisation, dialogue and experimentation.
This 2-month residency in 2026 will open doors to find new partners, provide studio-space to work together, and facilitate sharing of discoveries.
This is a paid opportunity.
Expressions of Interest will be open until Wednesday December 10 2025.
