About
The Studio 210 Residency supports Bay Area artists in need of space to make their work, while receiving professional mentorship, an artist stipend, and a culminating performance to share their projects and connect with new audiences. The residency is intended as a vehicle for artists to hone their skills, experiment, and dive into making performance. It is currently open to dedicated artists of ALL performance disciplines (dance, music, theater,  etc.) Applications open August 16, 2021.
  • Queer & Trans / Black, Indigenous, & POC artists are encouraged to apply.
  • Eligible artists must have three years of professional experience. If you have attended school for dance/music/theater, this means three years post-graduation. If you don’t have three years and still want to be considered, please contact us.
  • Eligible artists must be in the Bay Area for the majority of the residency period in early 2022 (see full dates above). Please note that we are unable to provide housing to residents.
Each artist in residence receives:
  • Six hours of free rehearsal space a week for eight weeks (48 hours total) in Studio 210 located at 3435 Cesar Chavez in San Francisco;
  • Weekly one-on-one mentorship with Deborah Slater, Artistic Director of Deborah Slater Dance Theater. Slater will periodically attend rehearsals as desired by the Resident;
  • Two performances of 20 minutes or fewer per Resident with audience discussion and feedback. The final presentation does not have to be a completed piece. These performances can be explorations of ideas, a work-in-progress, or a showing of fragments of work. This is not a space for polishing existing work;
  • An artist stipend provided by DSDT.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at residency@deborahslater.org.
