Description of Program

BAX AIR is tailored to each artist’s unique needs, process and artistic practice. Its structure develops peer support, collaborative problem-solving and constructive criticism. Each artist-in-residence will receive 300 free hours of rehearsal space per year and an annual stipend of $3,000.

Artist in Residence have priority to BAX rehearsal space in any of its four studios and meet regularly for one-on-one consultations with Executive Artistic Director Marya Warshaw and Artistic Advisors Abigail Browde and Nia Love. Group meetings with all six artists occur every six weeks. Group meeting topics include video documentation; developing relationships with producers; challenges of collaboration and co-directing; establishing a teaching practice; and finding life/work balance.

All artists have opportunities to present works in progress and/or finished work at BAX with full production and marketing support from BAX. Following performances at BAX, BAX often assists artists in delivering their vision to a broader audience by co-producing their work in other venues or establishing relationships with producers and funders that will allow them to move forward.
