Depending on availability, both studios will have to be used for your residency period. While all good faith effort will be made to host residency hours in the big studio, N.E.W. cannot guarantee that every residency rehearsal hour will occur in the big studio.

PLEASE ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:
DESCRIBE YOUR PROJECT AND WHY THIS PROJECT MERITS SUPPORT. (MAXIMUM 500 words). Our panel (Founder of N.E.W., member(s) of the residency Resource Council, and an outside artist) looks for applicants who present proposals that reflect new directions for the artist, especially ones that have some considerable risk attached to them. Successful applicants are often those who exhibit a personal critical imperative  for being in this residency. *
PLEASE DESCRIBE HOW “FIELDWORK” WILL BENEFIT YOUR PROJECT. (MAXIMUM 500 WORDS)  Fieldwork, (http://thefield.org/content/fieldwork)  is a facilitated, peer-to-peer critique process. Comments focus on what's happening in the work and how each choice shapes the work, keeping the authorship of the artist constantly supported. Fieldwork cultivates insight into composition and strengthens one's ability to give critical commentary. The N.E.W. Residency format considers Fieldwork an essential and important tool. In our residency, residents typically come together once every 6 weeks to present their work-in-progress and exchange comments with their fellow residents, Fieldwork Facilitator, Katherine Longstreth, and N.E.W. Program Director, Subashini Ganesan. (NOTE: Sometimes, Resource Council members participate in these sessions, as well.) *
FINE PRINT: Please read and electronically initial below each statement.
IF SELECTED TO BE A N.E.W. RESIDENT I AGREE TO THE FOLLOWING RULES AND GUIDELINES:
I understand that the Residency begins the week of May 17th, 2020 and ends the week of November 9th, 2020. The final showing will be held November 13th - 15th 2020 at 7:30pm nightly and I will perform in it. *
I will be available for a N.E.W. Residency Orientation on Wednesday May 6th 2020 between 6:30pm and 8:30pm. *
I will set-up and maintain a regular rehearsal schedule with New Expressive Works. I will generally receive a maximum of 6 hours (two 3-hour slots) between 8am and 6pm on weekdays. Serious illness and/or family emergencies are the only reason for carrying forward rehearsal hours. Otherwise, unused hours will be forfeit at the end of each week. *
I will use the rehearsal time to create a new 20-minute work. The final work will be showcased the last weekend of the residency. This showcase will be a 3-night ticketed performance run, produced by New Expressive Works. *
I will participate fully in “Fieldwork,” a facilitated, peer to peer process that is an integral part of this residency. Every 6 weeks all participants will gather (with facilitator and N.E.W. Program Director) to share your developing work and exchange feedback to support cultivating insight into composition and strengthening one's ability to give critical commentary. *
While the ownership of all materials created during the residency belongs to the artist, New Expressive Works reserves the right to use images/footage/interviews/other materials developed during the residency for publicity materials to promote work in New Expressive Works. *
