Creative New Zealand X BATS Theatre Pacific Producer Residency
Thanks to the support of Creative New Zealand and the Pacific Arts Strategy, we are excited to open applications for our Pacific Producer Residency 2024. This three-month/12 week residency is open for experienced Pasifika producers to apply from across Aotearoa, and will be based at BATS Theatre in Wellington.
The purpose of this residency is to create an opportunity for an experienced Pasifika producer to work in Te Whanganui-a-Tara and expand their networks. They will become a part of the BATS whānau, working from our office in Pōneke connecting with our team and artists.
Producers with existing contracts for creative works (including shows that are being presented outside of BATS Theatre) are welcome to apply. The producer will be encouraged to use this time to develop/take on new contracts if they have capacity, and to further build their connections in the industry. This could include travel throughout Aotearoa.
BATS Theatre will tailor our support based on what the Pasifika producer wishes to achieve by the end of the residency. The candidate will be selected in collaboration with industry leaders and Creative New Zealand, led by BATS.
Last year's Pacific Producer Residency winner was Teherenui Koteka. Find out more about her here.
