Open House: Artistic Residency for Emerging Artists [Ages 18-25]

Ensemble and Special Projects

We have extended the closing date for applications for Open House!
CYT’s Open House program is for young independent artists seeking to create/ rehearse/develop a theatrical project. Open House invites emerging artists to take theatrical risks and expand their performance horizons through engaging in an artistic residency in our space for a fortnight.

“Open House was the perfect testing ground, we failed, we succeeded, we discovered new ideas waiting for us “ Cathy Petocz 2008 Open House Recipient

In June 2009 Open House #1 was undertaken by Tobias Manderson-Galvin, an emerging artist from Melbourne, and in December Open House #2 was undertaken by Last Man To Die (Hanna Cormick, Benjamin Forster, Charles Martin, and Peter Butz), a group of emerging artists from ACT.

The selected artist will have:

- rent-free access to a flexible performance space with lighting rig and sound system for two weeks.
- a stipend to financially support* themselves for the duration of Open House (conditions apply)
- the support of the Artistic Director of CYT and a mentor
- access to the resources of the company (office, workshop, technical & theatrical)
