The Ground Floor at Berkley

web site

We invite artists to apply with projects that would benefit from a residency in Berkeley for 1–4 weeks. Berkeley Rep will provide transportation, housing, rehearsal space, limited technical support, and a modest stipend.

Applicants must be available for residency between June 3 and 29, 2014. Previous applicants may re-apply.

Projects may be anywhere along their development path: from an idea, to a complete draft of a text. Whether you are a writer simply needing a room in which to write or an ensemble wanting multiple weeks of intensive rehearsal time, we encourage you to apply. Artists from other disciplines interested in creating theatre pieces also welcome. If your project is ready for a small audience, we are happy to provide that, but there is no requirement for any kind of culminating event.

To apply

Complete the application form.

We suggest you download and complete the application as a Word document and then cut/paste your answers into the application form. Please note that the online form does not allow you to save the application mid-way through and that you must hit the “submit” button at the bottom to finalize the form submission process. Do not submit the Word document via email.
