About the Research Residency:

The Research Residency is an annual program designed to support the kinesthetic and choreographic inquiries of artists engaging in dance and/or movement-based research.

The residency provides resources such as artist fees, studio space, public presentation, documentation, and platforms for discussion.

The purpose of the residency is to allow for in-depth research, critical thinking, risk-taking, professional development, skill enhancement, and creative exchange.

While the Research Residency culminates in a public presentation, the program refuses the pressures of a finished product or conclusion.

*Young Lungs Dance Exchange would like to acknowledge aceartinc, Salsa Explosion studio, and Christopher Sobczak, for their contributions and support to the 2024 Research Residency.

Young Lungs Dance Exchange is a not-for-profit artist-run support organization committed to the development, creation, and presentation of contemporary dance and performance on Treaty 1 Territory, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.

The 2024 Research Residency is made possible with the generous support of Winnipeg Arts Council, and Canada Council for the Arts.
