At the heart of Conflux is its programme of artist’s residencies. Creating opportunities for specialist training, new collaborations and the investigation of original approaches to the creation of street arts, physical theatre and circus, these residencies allow artists to pursue radical developments in their work.
Residencies can be supported both by invitation and through an unsolicited proposal being made to Conflux by an organisation or an individual. In the first instance unsolicited applications should be made using the form provided below. Applications can be made at any time.

SUSPENDED MOTION
In July 2010 Danuta Ramos & Ian Henderson of 'Suspended Motion' 'will be devising a dynamic new piece fusing acrobalance and physical theatre with the assistance of acro specialist Fons Bennink.
Whilst finished work can arise from Conflux residencies Conflux is not a production house: its residencies are aimed at providing established and emergent artists with opportunities for radical professional development and training. Conflux has the priority of supporting residencies that have an emphasis on new collaborations, cross-disciplinary work (eg. circus skills with visual art) and maximising educational possibilities (eg. artists facillitating workshops / masterclasses as part of their residency). Only in exceptional circumstances will Conflux be the sole source of funding for a residency. Usually the participating artists will be required to provide in-kind support, and further support will also be sought from partner organisations. Conflux will not support the reworking of an existing piece of work or the development of work that does not involve radical professional development for the artists involved.
