About the Studio 210 Residency Program
Founded in 2012, the Studio 210 Residency is a vehicle for Bay Area artists to hone their skills, experiment, and dive into making performance. Open to performing artists in all disciplines, the Residecy has included practitioners of Bharatanatyam, Ballet, Flamenco, Belly Dance, Modern/Contemporary, Salsa, Bomba, and Kathak Dance, as well as actors, musicians, directors, and writers. The residency makes the rare offer of professional mentorship from DSDT Artistic Director Deborah Slater and guest mentors such as David Herrera (Winter 2024 Guest Mentor) and Yayoi Kambara (Winter 2025 Guest Mentor). With support from the CAC, the Residency expanded in 2021 from one cycle and two residents per year to two cycles and four residents per year and added an artist stipend. Residents currently receive a package worth nearly $10,000 that includes free rehearsal space, two fully produced hybrid (in-person and livestreamed) performances, mentoring, marketing collateral and support, stipends, performance photos, and professionally shot and edited two-camera video performance documentation. To date, 150 artists have participated in the Residency - 38 as lead resident artists and 112 as their performers/collaborators.
