Artists Invited to Explore Performance from a Parallel Perspective

 

We’ve teamed up with Old Diorama Arts Centre (ODAC) to offer a joint residency for disabled artists. From the hubbub of central London to the tranquil borders of the Peak District, through the Parallel Perspectives residency selected artists will be able to spend time in both studios and their surrounding areas, using two distinctly different locations to explore their work.

We’re going to offer two artists a residency between August and December 2023, each receiving a financial contribution along with a residency in both London and Derbyshire.

Daniel Pitt, Creative Director & Chief Executive at ODAC said:

“As ODAC continues to step-up our artist support activities, we’re delighted to partner with Level as another ‘creation centre’ with a complimentary perspective, so that together we can provide space for reflection and focus for disabled artists’ new ideas. England needs more spaces dedicated to artistic making, and more opportunities to develop those first parts of new work. We hope this partnership contributes to that.”
