"We encourage applications for a wide range of projects from a diversity of artists, composers, directors, choreographers, and performers of different cultural and geographic backgrounds. We are open to proposals for all phases of a project, from initial concept to full production. The scope and intent of residencies may vary. They can either be short-term or part of a longer-term development process. A residency may be used to develop a part of a project, to explore a concept, to research artistic and technical feasibility of a certain idea, to develop computer programs or specific hardware, to bring an audiovisual work through post-production, to rehearse, or to test a work at full production scale. EMPAC’s curators, in collaboration with its director, develop programs, commissions, and residencies internally. Proposals are reviewed and discussed jointly by the curatorial panel three times a year. We recommend applicants apply at least six months before their desired residency timeframe."
