CYT’s Open House program is for young independent artists seeking to create, rehearse or develop a theatrical project. Open House invites emerging artists to take theatrical risks and expand their performance horizons through engaging in an artistic residency in their space for a fortnight.

This year sees not one but two rounds of Open House - providing both an ACT and an interstate emerging artist with the opportunity to develop new work.

The upcoming round is for non-ACT residents only and will include travel and accommodation costs* for the recipient to travel to Canberra for the residency (*conditions apply)

The selected artist will have:

- the support of the Artistic Director of CYT
- access to the resources of the company (office, workshop, technical & theatrical)
- rent-free access to a flexible performance space with lighting rig and sound system for two weeks (weekends inclusive)
- travel reimbursement* for non-ACT recipient (*within Australia, conditions apply)
- accommodation* for non-ACT recipient at Gorman House Arts Centre
- a stipend of up to $500/week to financially support* the applicant for the duration of Open House
- partial reimbursement for resources/development expenses on approval of budget

Participants should be aged between 18-25 and Australian residents, and will receive mentorship from the CYT Artistic Director or a professional theatre practitioner of their choice.

Open House #2 takes place from Monday, November 29 - Friday, December 10, 2010.
