This is an ideal opportunity for a dance artist with an established practice, a particular interest in research applications of their work, and a willingness to engage in discourses that reveal some of the shared knowledge that emerges during the residency.
The project can be a solo endeavour, or collective.
The residency will take place between April 2026 and October 2026 at Birmingham Botanical Gardens.
