BLAK FUTURES RESIDENCIES
Blak Futures returns in 2025. In direct response to the actions arising from our inaugural gathering, we’re thrilled to offer SA-based Blak artists residency opportunities to support the development of ambitious new choreographic works.
SA-based First Nations artists and collectives are encouraged to apply for two Blak Futures residencies.
Australian Dance Theatre, BlakDance and Adelaide Festival are thrilled to offer two residencies. Successful applicants will receive the following:
A $10,000 artist fee (with auspice support offered by ADT where required)
Supported by ADT and BlakDance, to cover the artist fee, collaborators, travel, and other residency expenses. Artists will work collaboratively with ADT and BlakDance to develop tailored budget plans, ensuring equity, cultural safety, and professional support.
Access to fully subsidised space at either The Odeon and/or LOFT at Lion Arts Centre for ten days in 2025
Basic technical support from ADT throughout the residency
Mentoring tailored to individual project needs, from ADT and BlakDance
Access to Cultural Eldership where required, with facilitation support from ADT where required. Fees for Cultural Eldership will be paid by ADT and do not fall within the artist fee.
Professional documentation (photography and videography) of the residency
If you have any queries, please don’t hesitate to send ADT an email.
Applications are now open and close on Monday 13 January.
