Irish Theatre Institute (ITI) and CoisCéim Dance Theatre celebrate a decade of collaboration in 2025, continuing their shared commitment to professional development with a new series of short-term residencies at CoisCéim’s vibrant ATRIUM studio, 42 Fairview Strand, Dublin 3.

These residencies are designed for theatre makers whose work incorporates movement, choreography, or physical theatre. Whether you’re creating new work or deepening your practice, this is an opportunity to explore, experiment, and develop your ideas in a space designed to inspire creativity. 

Please note: These residencies are open to any artists currently living on the island of Ireland and are selected through an OPEN CALL process by ITI. We cannot support international travel or accommodation for this opportunity. 

In 2025, ITI is prioritising support for artists from underrepresented backgrounds. As part of our commitment to equity and inclusion, applications from these communities will receive priority consideration.
