House Conspiracy x Anywhere Theatre Festival

 

NOTE 01: to apply this residency round, you must have already registered to be part of Anywhere Theatre Festival.

 

We are pleased to announce a one-off Residency cycle in partnership with Anywhere Theatre Festival. Up to four theatre companies will have the opportunity to partake in the House Conspiracy residency process, allowing them to access the House Conspiracy space for rehearsals in advance of Anywhere Festival, during which they will be able use the House as a performance space.

We're excited to see radical uses of the House Conspiracy space by a diverse range of practitioners. Subversive, innovative, and exciting theatre and live art is what we're looking for most in this application process. Blow our minds with what you wanna do.

House Conspiracy is the first dedicated residency space of its kind in Brisbane. Over the course of a year we will be curating and facilitating dozens of Brisbane’s emerging creatives in undertaking valuable collaborative and experimental residencies within the space. Everything that is created or that takes place will be documented, and it is this documentation—physical and digital—that will make House Conspiracy a valuable long-term reference point for the artists selected to make their mark on the space.

NOTE 02: To be elegible, you and your group must fall under House Conspiracy's definition for emerging artists.
