The Dance Studio Residency opportunity supports the development of new dance works by providing time, space and funding through Chicago's Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events (DCASE). Since 2022, nearly $400,000 and approximately 1500 hours of rehearsal time has been allocated to the development of 19 distinct projects.
The Chicago Cultural Center Dance Studio Residency program is supported in part by grants from the Walder Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts.
