While this is a development residency, artists in residence will be expected to integrate their work into the life of the school, providing opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students to take part in their creative process and engaging with faculty and the wider campus community throughout the residency period. Artists in residence are invited to take advantage of the varieties of expertise and resources available in the school as they develop a new work or body of works. The New Work Development Artist Residency is designed to take advantage of these existing areas of strength, and the school’s emerging areas of new research (including music performance, music technology, devised theatre, graphic design, photo and video, painting and illustration, sculpture, choreography, virtual production, games, animation, visual computing and materials-based research). The school was founded by three intrinsically interdisciplinary units: Dance Science (combining dance and the biological and health sciences), Visualization (uniting the fine and visual arts with computer science) and Performance Studies (a conjunction of music and theatre drawing on anthropology and related humanities fields). The school is committed to inspiring our campus and community by incubating new works of art in an environment of creative reciprocity between scholars and artists that crosses, blurs and erases disciplinary lines. The School of Performance, Visualization and Fine Arts at Texas A&M University is excited to announce its inaugural New Work Development Artist Residency program.
