The Trisk Artist-in-Residence program is designed for artists whose creative practice thrives in an immersive studio environment. Intended for projects already actively in development and moving toward premiere, the residency provides one artist annually with the time, space, and support needed to focus on the final stages of creating a new evening-length work. The six-month residency culminates in a three-night performance run in our theater.
