Residencies

Research and creation residencies

TOHU aims to stimulate the evolution of circus aesthetics. Through its residency program for research and creation projects in the circus field, TOHU encourages the exploration of new forms and practices in this art form by offering space and time for research and innovative initiatives.

This support is available to individuals, groups and not-for-profit circus organizations active in the production of a show.

TOHU can host the entire project or offer support to a specific part or aspect of the production, depending on its scale and the support requested. Tohu does not provide any financial assistance, but does support the creative process by way of facilities and services.

PERIODS OF ACTIVITY AND REGISTRATION DATES

La TOHU is proud to support the Montreal circus community by hosting several creative residencies. We invite you to submit your creative residency project for the Fall 2024 season, which runs from September 1 to December 15, 2024.

**Children are admitted to a creative residency only if they are accompanied by a supervising adult.
**Any technical requests not included in the form must be sent to services.pro@tohu.ca at least 72 hours before the start of the residency.

Production residences

TOHU offers professional artists, artist collectives and non-profit organisations access to its venue to support a project which writing, staging, set design and casting phases have been previously developed.

This type of residency aims at supporting the very last stages of the artistic process such as lighting design and sound effects.

If you would like to bring a project to our attention, please reach out at services.pro@tohu.ca.
