WalesLab information

Applications have now closed for the second round of WalesLab projects.

Over the next five years, thanks to significant investment from the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, WalesLab will use the nation as a landscape for developing new theatre projects. Twice a year open calls will be published inviting theatre makers and artists from other disciplines, to apply for short residencies to develop an idea or piece of work.

The initiative is split into three strands:

Pollinate: A summer camp for up to twenty theatre makers and artists of varied experience to share ideas, learn form each other and stimulate new collaborations and projects.

Fertilise: For around a week small groups will work on the development of a project they have proposed. There will be up to eight Fertilise projects a year, some of which may have an international element.

Germinate: Three times a year small groups of artists will be offered the opportunity to spend around two weeks somewhere in Wales developing an idea or project which they have already begun working on, and will share their work with a local audience. There will be three Germinate projects a year, one of which will have an international element.

The next round of applications will be in May 2012, for the Pollinate summer camp in summer 2012 (datesTBC), more details about this will follow shortly.

For more information on WalesLab can be found in this group.
