Current Call: Romilly Walton Masters Performance Residency 2024-25
Dublin Fringe Festival is proud to partner with Centre Culturel Irlandais once more on this exciting residency opportunity for experimental artists to develop new work in Paris.
This award, established in 2016 in memory of the late director, producer, scriptwriter and friend of the CCI, Romilly Walton Masters, supports the making of bold, innovative, experimental performance work in the fields of theatre, music, dance, film or visual art to be experienced by audiences in France and Ireland.
The award enables experimental theatre and performance makers in their early careers to:
- develop an idea for performance during a residency in the CCI in Paris
- show the embryonic performance piece as a work-in-progress
- showcase the final work in Paris
- present the final work in Ireland as part of Dublin Fringe Festival.
Open to applicants who are Irish or resident on the island of Ireland.
