Residency Overview
Little Theatre Auditorium invites place-based performance artists who are residents or returning residents of the State of Minnesota to apply for the Small Stages Artist Residency. This program is an opportunity for one performance artist or group of artists to develop, expand or adapt their practice in place-based performance-making to interactive art experiences, or performance installations. We hope this program will create new approaches for how our citizens engage with each other and with shared spaces, especially in this time of isolation, divisiveness and uncertainty. Applications for this 4-6 week residency in August-September 2022 are due at 4:59 p.m. CST on Sunday, May 8, 2022.
