Regional residency with Performing Lines TAS
Steamworks director, Sally Richardson, has been selected for 2025 Regional Arts residency program facilitated by Performing Lines.
I am delighted to be part of the 2025 cohort of Tasmanian artists invited to participate in the 2025 residency program, including composers, designers, writers, performers, and creative producers from across Lutruwita. This is a wonderful opportunity to continue to develop my project Blue is the Colour of Desire, working with selected professional mentors alongside the PL TAS team and my colleagues.
Performing Lines TAS Regional Artist Residency is a three-day, two-night program supporting artists to explore new ideas and cross-disciplinary collaborations. Through project presentations, tailored mentorship, workshops, and networking, it fosters creative growth, professional development, skills sharing, and strong engagement, encouraging creative connections and ensuring the growth of a skilled and supportive artistic community. This year's residency takes place at Giants' Table & Cottages in Maydena.
