Description:

With the support of the Australia Council for the Arts, the National Institute of Circus Arts (NICA) embarks on a one-year residency and mentorship program that will assist up to 23 circus and physical theatre artists to test and research ideas and create and present work.

Our partnering presenters and producers will be invited to provide feedback to artists on their final presentation of their research findings, in-progress showing during the creative development stage, and presentation of works. On completion of the artists’ residency at our facilities, the presenters and producers might fund the next stage of the artists’ creative process by giving support and taking the work to the next stage at their venues.
