MAP's driving vision is to provide professional and audience development for independent artists.
Artist Residencies provide space for our artists to develop ideas and methodologies outside of a commission, performance or institutional framework. In turn, this research is shared with the wider community through Movement Labs, online platforms and open Research Performances.
“There is a need not only to support dance companies but also the artists who are going to provide the dancers and choreographers for those companies in the future.”
- CNZ Dance Review 2.3.1
what you give

- Write a weekly blog, including an initial video blog outlining their intentions;
- Facilitate a three-hour Movement Lab, an incubator-style research space to share practice
- Present a Research Performance, an open performance to share research with the community;
- Meet for ten hours over the series with their Research Advisor (appointed by the artist).
what you get
MAP provides the artists with:
- $750.00 weekly stipend for the artist;
- $500.00 stipend for Research Advisor (ten hours of contact time);
- Studio space for the residency and Research Performance;
- Marketing of events including promotion, platforms for engagement and communication throughout the series.
