The LiftOff Residency takes place at NDA’s Studio in Tribeca and provides six physical-based performance artists with 30 hours of rehearsal space each, an introductory meeting, and two feedback sessions. This residency is for artists looking to join a small cohort of artists to share and give feedback on each other’s work.
You must be a New York City based artist in order to apply.
Past LiftOff residents are eligible to apply after two years of their program participation. The residency is only available for solo artists, or groups with up to 4 artists.
The reviewing panel will select two cohorts:
Fall/Winter and Winter/Spring.
The residency offers a $500 stipend.
Applications are due September 15th, 2025 at 11:59pm.

“Congratulations on your Performance Mix #34: Remotely Yours initiative. I hope you all feel delighted with the experience. I must admit that it challenged me to do something a little bit out of my zone. But I am quite happy with the outcome. The first project featuring my son! It will be an unforgettable moment when we will look back at it in a few years.”
