LIEDTKE STUDIO RESIDENCIES

2024 LIEDTKE STUDIO RESIDENCIES - APPLICATIONS NOW OPEN

In partnership with the Tanja Liedtke Foundation, we're thrilled to continue the Tanja Liedtke Residencies for 2024. 

Offered periodically throughout the year in The Tanja Liedtke Studio, the residencies give artists dedicated time and space to develop new works, experiment and extend their choreographic and artistic practice.

The Residencies are open to independent dance artists and choreographers from all over Australia, with artists joining us at The Odeon on Kaurna Yerta for the duration of their residency.

This year we are pleased to offer three residency opportunities, with one residency available to each of the following:

  • An artist/group based on Kaurna Yerta

  • An artist/group from regional South Australia

  • An artist/group based outside of South Australia

Successful residents will receive:

  • A stipend of $2,600

  • Free studio space for two weeks in The Tanja Liedtke Studio

  • Opportunities to engage with Australian Dance Theatre’s staff and ensemble

For those artists travelling to Adelaide, we will also cover travel costs and provide local accommodation; regional and interstate applicants are encouraged to discuss travel and accommodation options with us before submitting their application.

We understand that each residency may require additional support based on the needs of the projects being developed. Successful applicants will be able to work with the ADT team to ensure they get the most out of their time in the studio.

Residencies will offered during the following periods throughout 2024:

  • 3 - 14 June

  • 26 August - 6 September

  • 11 - 22 November

Please note that applicants may only apply for one project per year. Applicants are encouraged to list their order of preference in their application if they’re able to be in residence across 2024.
