Maximised

by Chunky Move

Maximised by Chunky Move is a support initiative for independent artists or collectives working in dance or performance. It is an in-kind studio residency offering up to 3 full time weeks of studio access* and limited technical equipment (as negotiated/available). Artists of all levels of experience are eligible to apply via a simple EOI. 

PLEASE NOTE:

Due to our commitment to fulfil a backlog of residencies from 2020/21, in addition to needing to provide space for numerous studio based activities, which continue to shift due to the impacts of the pandemic, we are unfortunately unable to offer Maximised in 2022. We have successfully delivered several Minimax’s so far this year and will continue to offer this initiative for the remainder of 2022. Please see more information and how to apply below.

Please sign up to our mailing list or keep an eye on our media platforms for announcements regarding placement opportunities in 2022.
