2027 Bessie Schönberg Residency

The Yard, founded in 1973 on Martha’s Vineyard, offers the 2027 Bessie Schönberg Residency – a two‑ to four‑week creation residency for choreographers and dance companies. Residents receive access to a rehearsal studio, housing in a six‑cabin compound, technical support for in‑process showings, and a modest honorarium. The program culminates in public performances during the summer season, while off‑season residencies provide quieter studio time. Applications are accepted online through the Rate My Artist Residency listing, with a deadline of November 30, 2026. The residency is open to national and international artists at various career stages.
