Deep Space Performance Residency

DEEP SPACE is a performance residency program for artists and ensembles who are making daring work along the fringes of the mainstream. NACL supports new works at various stages of development that can benefit from extended time at our residency center.

Residencies are typically one week long, and culminate in a public sharing with an invited audience. This “sharing” takes place regardless of the stage of development and can be in the form of a completed performance or preview, a work-in-progress, staged reading, demonstration/discussion, or whatever best serves the artistic process. Projects at more advanced stages will require bringing your own technicians and designers, as required by the work.

THE DEADLINE FOR CONSIDERATION FOR 2026 RESIDENCIES HAS PASSED.

We accept applications on a rolling basis throughout the year. The next deadline for 2027 residencies will be January 31st, 2026.
