About Our Residency Programmes

We offer a residency programme to provide artists based in the UK with money, space, and staff time to explore new ideas and support the realisation of projects.

Reflecting our ambitious vision to inspire people through dance, transforming lives, communities and places, these substantial new residencies are part of our strategy to improve the working conditions of artists and to invest in new research and creation that will engage and resonate with audiences in fresh and different ways.

At Fabric we strive to make our artist residencies accessible and inclusive, and to create working conditions that centre the care and dignity of all. You can find more information about our access support for artists in residence below.
