Public Creation Residencies at Whim W’Him Contemporary Dance Center / Residencies
Deadline
August 30, 2026
Organization Name: Whim W'Him Contemporary Dance Center
Organization Location: Seattle, WA
Type: Residencies
Fee: Free
The Public Creation Residencies Program brings artists into WWCDC’s Temple Studio for 1 and 2 week residencies of focused work time, free of charge.
Applicants must propose a use that involves movement-based research, dance-making, choreographic development, physical exploration, or another practice that reasonably requires a dance-specific studio.
Residents may use their studio time for class planning and phrase building, but may not hold profit generating classes during their residency time.
Creation Residencies are awarded on a lottery system.
