RESIDENCIES
ODAC is spaces for making, for the early stages, for the meeting point of people where great ideas can happen. Whenever possible, we’re interested in artists and companies spending several weeks of their process in our studios, and sometimes building long-term relationships between artists and local residents.
We offer residencies on an ad-hoc basis, and through more formalised programmes.

PARALLEL PERSPECTIVES
Located in very different environments, both ODAC and LEVEL are predominantly spaces for making and exploration, without performance spaces.
We’re delighted to announce that the artists and companies selected for the residencies are Lisa Hammond & Rachael Spence - ‘Bunny’; Tam Reynolds a.k.a. Midgitte Bardot; and Jonny Leitch, Elana Binysh & Jenny Davies, who all receive studio space in the new year and a financial contribution towards their time and expenses on the project.
Creative Director, Daniel Pitt said: ‘As ODAC continues to step up our artist support activities, we're delighted to partner with Level as another 'creation centre' with a complimentary perspective so that together we can provide space for reflection and focus for disabled artists' new ideas.’
INTERVENTION 01
In 2022-23, ODAC partnered with neighbouring theatre New Diorama Theatre on their ‘Intervention 01’, A Season of No Shows to instead focus on R&D, relieved of pressure for programming or immediate outcomes. ODAC was involved in the selection process and many of the selected companies’ residencies took place in our studios.
'Intervention 01' is an NDT project, supported by two creative partners, Brighton Dome & Brighton Festival and ODAC, building on the two organisations' close working relationship. Funding partners include Arts Council England National Lottery Project Grants, Jerwood Arts and the Harold Hyam Wingate Foundation.
