New York University Center for Ballet and the Arts calls application for Resident Fellowship in the United States of America. The Resident Fellowship at New York University is a core offering for scholars and artists of all disciplines to develop projects that expand the way we think about the history, practice, and performance of dance. Past fellows have come from wide-ranging disciplines such as history, design, philosophy, visual arts, and more. Fellows are not required to be experts in ballet or dance but must have an interest in engaging with the art.

Benefits

The fellowship provides space, a stipend, and the time to pursue rigorous work. Fellows also gain new colleagues and a broad community of scholars and artists, two communities that do not often meet. Moreover, the fellows receive the following benefits
