Questions? Email redlinearts19@gmail.com
RPA’s resident artist is a pre-professional or professional artist who has an ongoing and dedicated relationship with RPA. The ideal artist is committed to the mission and vision of RPA and desires a mutually beneficial working relationship.
What else can you expect?
- Artistic Collaboration: They collaborate with the theater's artistic team, including directors, designers, and other artists, to contribute to the creation of theatrical productions. This can include acting, directing, designing sets or costumes, choreographing, composing music, or any other artistic role in the theater.
-Artistic Development: RPA’s artistic team will aim to support the artistic development of the artist. This may involve providing resources for them to explore and expand their skills, experiment with new ideas, or engage in professional development. Our team is also committed to advising our Resident Artists on bringing their ideas to life by consulting on new projects created by resident artists.
-Community Engagement: Resident artists may also participate in most educational classes free of charge.
-Regular Contributions: Resident Artists are expected to regularly contribute to the theater's productions, either by performing in shows, assisting with design, or other artistic contributions as specified in their residency agreement.
-Financial Support: RPA will work to find paid opportunities for artists not only internally but externally as well.
The specific terms and conditions of the RPA residency can vary widely, and the purpose of the program may vary from one person to another. The goal is to foster artistic growth, strengthen the connection between the artist and RPA, and enhance RPA's artistic output by having dedicated and skilled artists as part of their creative team.
