ABOUT BOSTON CENTER FOR THE ARTS
Boston Center for the Arts (BCA) supports working artists to create, perform, and exhibit new works; develops new audiences; and connects the arts to community, and has for over five decades engaged the creative community for public good. While the organization’s physical residence is in the historic South End, BCA touches every part of Boston’s cultural ecosystem. A leading force in the city’s cultural community, BCA has supported thousands of individual artists, small organizations, and performing arts companies, who add depth and dimension to the Boston arts ethos. Through residencies and programming, BCA serves as an epicenter for an expanding cohort of artists working across all disciplines, and has catalyzed careers by providing fertile ground for experimentation and artistic risk-taking.

ABOUT THE BOSTON DANCEMAKERS RESIDENCY
The Boston Dancemakers Residency was created through a partnership between Boston Center for the Arts and Boston Dance Alliance (BDA), a combination of their individual residency programs that comprised a year-long, comprehensive incubator program for dancemakers to make new work in the City of Boston. Considered Boston’s most comprehensive dance-focused residency, the Boston Dancemakers Residency is designed to support new work from conception to performance. Selected artists with strong choreographic foundations and a bold vision are offered resources to reach beyond their existing practice through incubation elements for research, experimentation, production and marketing support, business practices, artistic risk-taking, and growth within the dance industry.
ABOUT THE DANCE LAB and PARTNERS
Dance Lab at Boston Center for the Arts (BCA) offers resources for dance-based artists to research, expand, and rebuild work at varying stages of development. Designed to amplify and support a project over the course of a five-week time period, Dance Lab at BCA offers three dance-based artists support for research, development, rehearsal, outreach, and mentorship. Resources will be tailored for dancemakers at all stages of experience and point of their artistic arc for the selected project. The Dance Lab Residency includes partnerships with Midday Movement and Monkeyhouse to encourage collective learning and project planning in a cohort format and deepen professional development conversation and opportunities. The spirit of process-driven support within Midday Movement, Monkeyhouse, and Boston Center for the Arts spark a natural partnership between the organizations and resident artists.
