Company in Residence

The Company in Residence program welcomes nascent companies to make a home base at Ars Nova as they develop collaboratively created or devised work. The company receives flexible, unwavering support – often over a number of years – including office and rehearsal space, workshops and readings, dramaturgical support, retreats, professional consultation and more.
