RADicle
The RADicle resident will have a creative residency at The Croft in September 2024 and will share/present their work as a part of RAD Fest in 2025. Due to traveling logistics RADicle applicants must be US Based Artists.
Residency Details
RADicle is one of the awarded residencies* that The Croft hosts. Each residency is for a movement artist and their collaborators. The Croft can host up to 4 artist/collaborators as a part of each residency. The RADicle residents will have access to the rehearsal spaces at The Croft Residency and studio space in a Petoskey, a small town close to the residency. While in residence, the artists are required to give a gift to the land everyday, to leave a gift for the next residents, and to engage with local community through an engagement that supports their creative practice. The RADicle residency length is 1-2 weeks. The specific length of the residency, within this frame, is up the artists. Each collaborator will receive a $575 stipend for their time. Artists will be reimbursed for travel costs up to $500.
*The other residencies are a part of Rootstock, and are a separate application.
RAD Fest Details
The Midwest RAD Fest is hosted and supported by Southwest Michigan's oldest professional dance company, Wellspring/Cori Terry & Dancers. The festival is a juried event at the Epic Center in Kalamazoo, MI, featuring the best in modern, post-modern, and contemporary dance from all over the country. No other festival in the region offers emerging, professional, and experimental artists the opportunity to present their work (without financial commitment), opportunities for professional development (master classes, lectures, discussion panels), and free networking events. The call for choreographic submissions for this upcoming festival opens soon. The festival is March 1st - 3rd, 2024
RAD Fest presents live stage performances, site-specific works, a Screendance film series, master classes, workshops, a mediated discussion group, and several different networking opportunities for artists and patrons. Most visiting artists receive a travel stipend and lodging assistance, and all artists receive free promotional and media coverage. Additionally, RAD Fest offers audience development events (open rehearsals, Q & A sessions, open lectures, interactive performances). This season, RAD Fest has gone virtual but plans on bringing audiences all the same exquisite content that RAD Fest offers live, plus some extras!

Due to travel logistics, RADicle applicants must be US based artists. We will be accepting 30 applicants. The open call runs from November 1st - December 23rd 2023.
