HIGHLAND LAKE, NY — The North American Cultural Laboratory (NACL) Theatre is accepting applications for Deep Space, a performance residency program for artists and groups who make devised, original, or ensemble performances, until January 31.

NACL will support artists who need extended time in the theatre for projects in an advanced stage of development and are looking to incorporate production elements, execute technical rehearsals and/or refine artistic choices. The program is designed for productions already well-underway and will culminate in a public work-in-progress performance, which will be part of the NACL presenting season—typically May through October.

Companies must work with their own technicians, designers, and full artistic core. Work that has not yet begun some process of staging will not be considered.

Deep Space provides artists with exclusive use of the NACL theatre and artist residence for one week. At the end of the week NACL will produce and present the performance as part of its presenting season. NACL provides limited technical assistance as well as all front-of-house staffing. Artists receive a stipend to support their work. Offering a master class for public enrollment is also an option for residency artists to offset their expenses and share their craft.
