OPPORTUNITIES

Doma Dance Theater launches week-long micro residency pilot program, CHYŽA.

Chyža (huzhzhah) meaning house, room, cottage, or cabin, is a word only found in the Carpatho Rusyn language.

With this in mind, we invite artists needing concentrated, unrestricted, settled time in one place to make the studio your chyža. Possible intentions are (but not limited to) cleaning work, long rehearsals, set development, prop work, pre-tech research, low tech preproduction, small showings, micro intensives, solo research, etc.

• Residency weeks run Monday-Sunday.

• Residents determine their own schedule, but are encouraged to use a minimum of 10 hours in the studio.

• Additionally, artists receive 1-2 hours of mentorship during their stay from one artist from the Doma Team, mentor availability pending.

This is an ongoing program with a rolling application form.

Doma Team: Alexandra Bodnarchuk, Marcela Michelle, Brandon Musser

First come, first served.

The FermentationLAB (pilot program) is a no cost month-long space and time curated laboratory to begin, develop, workshop, clean, finalize, play, research and/or ferment movement based works. Launching in Spring 2025, Doma Dance Theater will offer broad access of their studio to one artist culminating in two showings shared with Doma.
