RESIDENCY PROGRAMS

SPACE on Ryder Farm offers a unique and dynamic atmosphere that nourishes artists and innovators both individually and relationally, allowing them to focus on their work in a significant way. Residents have hours on end to devote to deep thinking and expansive creation. And the relationships that are forged among residents at SPACE offer radiating benefits to the wider artistic community: collaborations are sparked, ideas are challenged, and curiosities are piqued. 

Residencies at SPACE are self-determined in order to meet the needs of each individual resident. The only requirements at SPACE are that residents attend three communal meals each day and share some of what they’ve developed while in residence here.

We believe that inclusion, equity, support, and radical hospitality are essential to creation and vital to spurring dialogue that leads to lasting change. Since 2017, all individual and small-group residences are free to participants. Applications require no fee. And SPACE ensures that at least 50 percent of these residents are persons of color and other under- or misrepresented voices.

GREENHOUSE RESIDENCY

The Greenhouse Residency offers aspiring playwrights and lyricists who have not had access to the professional theatre community or training programs a week-long residency to write and participate in workshops with mentors and other professionals. Participants will be nominated to apply from a diverse network of professional artists.
