Résidences de création ouvertes au public au Centre de danse contemporaine Whim W'Him

The Public Creation Residencies Program at Whim W'Him Contemporary Dance Center invites artists engaged in movement‑based research, dance‑making, choreographic development, or physical exploration to apply for focused studio time. The program provides 1‑ or 2‑week residencies in the Temple Studio, free of charge, with no application fee. Applicants submit a brief statement of intended use; residencies are awarded by lottery, ensuring a fair and unbiased selection process. The residency period runs from September 1st to 8th, 2026, with application submissions accepted from August 1st to 30th, 2026. Residents may use the studio for class planning and phrase building but are prohibited from holding profit‑generating classes during their residency. The program is part of an annual cycle, offering artists a recurring opportunity to access high‑quality dance studio space in Seattle.

Studio access (Temple Studio) for 1‑2 weeks, free of charge

Applicants must propose a use that involves movement‑based research, dance‑making, choreographic development, physical exploration, or another practice that reasonably requires a dance‑specific studio. Residents may not hold profit‑generating classes during residency.
