The Trisk Production Residency is designed for artists whose creative process heavily relies on theatrical design elements such as lighting, set, and sound. This residency program is structured to provide artists with concentrated weeks of hands-on work within the theater, collaborating closely with our technical and design teams to breathe life into their artistic vision.
THE TRISK PRODUCTION RESIDENCY
Our production residency programming is made possible through the generous support of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund.
