Become a Roundhouse Resident Artist

Ages 18-25 | Apply by Mon 5 May, 10am | Free

Our year-long Resident Artist programme facilitates and supports the creative and professional development of outstanding emerging musicians, theatre makers and poets between the ages of 18-25 as they establish themselves in their fields.

Alongside masterclasses, networking opportunities and mentoring, the programme provides performance opportunities within the Roundhouse and across a wide variety of stages beyond our walls. 

What you get:

  • Workshops and masterclasses to support your development as an artist. Previous workshop topics include A&R Surgeries, Intro to Marketing, Dramaturgy, Funding Masterclass and more.
  • Opportunities to perform at Roundhouse events and beyond 
  • Mentoring from industry professionals 
  • Previous Roundhouse Resident Artists include Amahla, Luca Manning, Chisara Agor, Kai Bosch and Katie Greenall. See the current 24/25 cohort here. 

Who are we looking for? 

We’re looking for emerging artists between the ages of 18-25 who are committed to developing their artistic skills and establishing themselves in the industry. Maybe you

  • Have released some work and are ready to start performing live. 
  • You’re performing live and ready to start publishing work. 
  • Or you’re doing a mix of both and want to develop your sound and live performance. 

How to apply

  • Monday 5 May, 10am – deadline to apply using our online form.
  • Friday 9 May – shortlisted applicants invited to audition date.
  • 14-16 May – Audition in person at the Roundhouse (30 minute slots allocated between 10am-5pm).
  • Friday 30 May – Induction Day, in person at the Roundhouse.
  • All Residents must be available on the last Monday evening of each month (from 6pm onwards) for a monthly workshop, masterclass, or social event.

If you find it easier to articulate yourself on video or audio, feel free to record and submit answers to the below 4 questions as one of your 3 links instead. Video applications should be sent as a private YouTube link if possible.

I’M NOT SURE I CAN AFFORD TO TAKE PART…

If you need help to pay for things like project fees, transport or childcare, we can help. Find out how you can get support. If you are using a bursary to pay for the project, please ensure you arrange this with the Advice Base with plenty of time before the start of the project.

I HAVE ADDITIONAL NEEDS. WHAT SUPPORT IS AVAILABLE?

We are committed to supporting D/deaf, disabled and neurodiverse young people, those with medical conditions, access requirements or any lived experience that may require adaptation, support or sensitivity. If there is anything you would like to let us (our youth workers, tutors or staff) know that will support your enjoyment and access, you can do so by emailing us at [email protected], and we will contact you to discuss further how to best support your engagement.
