How to apply for Catalyst
To apply, please fill out the application form. Keep in mind the application guidelines (below) and the overall aims of Catalyst as laid out above when filling in your application. Further questions can be posed by email to the Programme Manager.
Application and assessment criteria
You must be a current Dublin Circus Project member.
Proposals will be shortlisted by Dance Ireland and Dublin Circus Project, based on:
Applicant’s artistic output to date including career stage and depth of experience
Proposed mentor(s)
Artistic ethos and ambition of the applicant’s project
Benefits that participating in the programme offers the artist
Shortlisted proposals will be considered by a panel comprised of Dublin Circus Project Board, Dance Ireland Executive, and externals. This panel may choose to meet with shortlisted applicants as part of the consideration process.
Decisions will be communicated by mid-December 2019.
Feedback is an important part of sector development. Feedback on applications will be facilitated by Dublin Circus Project and Dance Ireland Executive on request from January 2020.
Guidelines
The dates for the Catalyst residencies to be undertaken in DanceHouse are set to be undertaken for two weeks (23rd and the 27th of March, and 30th of March to 3rd of April 2020). Applicants should be available to use the studio provided during these dates. The studio is available from 10am to 6pm, Monday to Friday, for the two weeks.
We cannot fund a capital gain or investment for the artist. However, if specific equipment is required for the residency we can explore buying the equipment for DanceHouse for use in the future by other members.
It is important when a maker is in residence at DanceHouse that there is some engagement with the community in a way that is relevant for the maker’s practice and also of benefit to certain segments of the community. As part of your proposal please make suggestions as to how you might engage with the existing Dance Ireland and/or Dublin Circus Project community (through new or existing programme activities) or engage outside of DanceHouse with circus/dance or non-circus/non-dance community groups.
Please be specific and realistic about your needs from Dance Ireland in terms of administrative support, whether the needs could be accommodated within the existing team or if we would need to allocate part of the budget for an additional person to cover those needs.
You should include samples of previous work. This work does not have to be dance or circus work – the most important aspect is that you are the creator and/or director.
Video links should be YouTube or Vimeo.
You should include up-to-date CV and/or bios of yourself, proposed mentors and key collaborators or cast members for the project.
