Over the years, ITI has developed a close relationship with the artists who have taken part in our numerous mentoring initiatives. Our team has identified the necessity for on-going support of artists following successful completion of participation in programmes such as Six in the Attic (SITA). The ALUMNI programme assists the individual artists and companies in their on-going professional development through enhancing their existing support systems.
ITI Alumni Off-Site
ITI is partnering with CoisCéim Dance Theatre to offer ITI Alumni Offsite @ CoisCéim residencies for writers/theatre-makers with a specific interest in movement/physical theatre and choreography.
CoisCéim and Eligibility to participate is dependent on proposed projects to be developed during the residency including proposed use of the office and studio space and participation with CoisCéim’s artistic programme. Further details published on the News page as they are confirmed.
