GERMINATE
SPACE RESIDENCY OPPORTUNITY
Germinate invests in the San Diego creative economy by offering space grants to local choreographers. Germinate provides rehearsal space and a supportive environment for artists to deeply engage with their work and creative process. The development of this space grant program is in direct response to the need for uninterrupted time and space to experiment and innovate that has been articulated by our peers in multiple Town Hall gatherings Malashock Dance has held over the past few years.
Germinate is part of Malashock Dance’s mission to foster a hub where artists come together to create new work.
Malashock Dance will grant up to three space grants to choreographers/ companies/ collectives based in the San Diego region. In alignment with our values of passion, excellence, equity, and inclusivity, Malashock Dance is committed to uplifting artistic voices that reflect our diverse San Diego community.
