Based in the modern NIDA Melbourne studios, NIDA Launchpad is a one-week residency open to applications from performing artists at all stages of their careers. Supported by creative feedback and project development, NIDA Launchpad provides a safe creative space for a Melbourne-based independent artist, arts organisation or creative collective to workshop fresh ideas, think big, put thoughts into action, be critically reflexive and engage with the NIDA community.
NIDA Launchpad will support performing artists dedicated to developing a new performance project and help them get their work off the ground. NIDA Launchpad is an inclusive initiative which welcomes applications from artists of all backgrounds including those who identify as Indigenous, culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD), LGBTIQ and non-binary, as well as artists with disabilities.
Applications for NIDA Launchpad close 6 November 2017. Find out more and make an application by visiting nida.edu.au/courses/nida-launchpad.
