Wed, 03 December 2025
Dublin Theatre Festival are excited to announce the return of SLINGSHOT, a residency initiative in Festival House
RESIDENCY
This Residency in Festival House is for theatre makers who are working on projects with an ambition for European co-production and touring. The space is available for between two and eight weeks in February to end of March. The ground-floor and wheelchair-accessible space is offered free of charge.
This opportunity might suit you if you are looking for a place to explore some early stage ideas for a new project, or the next stage of an existing project, on the floor with collaborators, some quiet time to read, research and talk with people, or a combination of both.
Structured mentoring is offered from the Festival team to support project development, along with financial support and guidance for one international research trip to facilitate career opportunities and professional networking. The Residency also includes the following benefits: heating, wifi, access to printer and scanner, access to kitchen, free tea and coffee supplies etc.
In our assessment of proposals, Dublin Theatre Festival will prioritise projects of international ambition and reach.
This year, Participating Slingshot artists will also be offered two group training and mentorship sessions on developing international practice
