KILOWATT FESTIVAL RESIDENCY

Running all year round since 2013, the residency programme is at the heart of Kilowatt’s day to day work. Open to professional artists from home and abroad who work in the areas of theatre, dance and performance and closely linked to Kilowatt’s two other core strands of activity in presenting work and facilitating research and development, the programme is a key element in Kilowatt’s profile as an Artists’ House supporting lively exchange between practice and theory. While occupying their own designated space and essentially working independently, residents may choose to take advantage of various kinds of production support such as dramaturgy, technical assistance, project management as well as press and publicity.

Thanks to the support of the Italian Ministry for Culture and Tourism, Tuscany Region, SIAE Sillumina, residency recipients receive a small grant to cover their living expen­ses and travel costs.
