The Bentway Conservancy is pleased to announce our second annual Artist Residency program. The 2020 artist residency will focus on The Bentway’s identity as a public space and “living lab” that supports both cultural engagement and physical activity. From free yoga and ice skating, to art installations and public performances, The Bentway is a space where art and recreation meet in ever-evolving ways.

The Bentway will support one self-directed on-site residency focused on advancing creative research and experimentation around the specified project theme of arts and recreation. The Bentway’s 2020 Spring/Summer season, Playing in Public, explores the history of recreation and its role in shaping decisions about public space. Through a series of interdisciplinary, intergenerational and participatory programs, The Bentway – a productive site that has given way to arts, culture and recreation — will be converted into a giant playground for communities that are eager to interact with the city in new and unexpected ways. The successful participant/s will be invited to respond and expand on this theme.

Interested parties are invited to join The Bentway team for a comprehensive information session about the 2020 Arts and Recreation Artist Residency on Saturday, November 30, 2019.

5×25 is a national initiative designed to celebrate playwrights, composers, choreographers and creators who were born in the year that Nightswimming was founded: 1995.

It’s a 5-year creative process we launched in 2015. Each year we invite proposals from artists born in 1995, then commission one annually until our 25th anniversary in 2020.

5×25 is open to writers, choreographers, composers, designers, theatre makers and activists who love performance and have an idea / project they want to create. We’re open to anything that happens in a space with an audience. Tell us what you want to create and if selected, we will provide a $5,000 commission plus resources to workshop the piece, develop a process with you to create it, bring you to Toronto to work on with us, and seek out producers or festivals to get it in front of an audience.

Are you a theatre-maker who was born in '95?
Application deadline is January 10th, 2020.
