About the residency
An immersive and inspiring environment where established and emerging creators in musical theatre are free to connect, collaborate and create new work, unaffected by commissions or deadlines.
Cove Park is an international artists residency centre located on an outstanding 50-acre rural site overlooking Loch Long on Scotland’s west coast, just one hour north of Glasgow.
A total of 13 participants will take part in this 2-week international exchange residency to create and develop new ideas in musical theatre. The residency has been devised by Andrew Panton, Artistic Director of Dundee Rep and will include facilitated sessions with Jeanie O’Hare (formerly Director of New Work Development at The Public Theater), Donna Lynn Hilton, Artistic Director of Goodspeed Musicals and David Greig, Artistic Director of Royal Lyceum Theatre Edinburgh. The programme also includes networking opportunities and workshop sessions, in-person and digital, with industry professionals including producers, directors, and theatre practitioners – such as director John Doyle, Broadway producers Mara Isaacs and Rashad V. Chambers, and more.
