Building on the success of our first residency programme in 2022, Fabric’s 2023–2024 Residency Programme featured three strands: Open Research, International Collaboration, and a partnership with Unlimited to support a disabled artist.
Over eight months, we supported an inspiring cohort of artists to develop ambitious ideas, explore new ways of working and advance their creative practice. The programme brought together a diverse range of projects, each contributing to the richness of contemporary dance and movement practice.
Explore the artists and projects below to discover more about the 2023–2024 residencies and the work developed through the programme.
Unlimited is an arts commissioning body that supports, funds and promotes new work by disabled artists for UK and international audiences. Funded by Arts Council England, Creative Scotland, Arts Council of Wales, Paul Hamlyn Foundation and British Council.
