B.L.A.’s Community Engagement Residency (CER) provides year-long support for socially-engaged dance and movement artists to engage in a creative processes within their self-defined communities. In addition to funding, the CER residency supports artist capacity-building through professional development, networking, resource-sharing, and thought-partnership with Bridge Live Arts staff and community. Core values of the residency are equity, dialogue, process, artist autonomy, intersecting art-making and activism, and building meaningful relationships among artists.
