SPECIAL PROJECT

In the spirit of resource-sharing, the Centre de Création O Vertigo (CCOV) offers dance artists exclusive, short-term access to its studio resources, providing optimum conditions for intensive research and creation development.

RESIDENCY – THE COPRODUCER | Between 2 & 4 residencies available

The Co-Producer Residency is intended for:

  • Advanced production projects that have confirmed presentation dates
  • Ambitious research projects
  • Innovative curatorial projects that involve the community.

The Co-Producer residency program is a collaborative exchange between the selected artist and the CCOV; working together, we will assess the CCOV’s capacity to help realize the artist’s objectives.
