Theatre Studies at the University of Glasgow is piloting a new Practitioner Residency opportunity in 2025, in partnership with the Scottish Theatre Archive in the University Library.

The Residency provides the opportunity for a creative practitioner to undertake a discrete, defined project engaging with material held within the Scottish Theatre Archive. This may be research undertaken towards a new project, work to develop an existing project, the development of a paper, presentation, proposal or script for further funding etc. The Residency does not seek to place limits on types of outcomes.

The Scottish Theatre Archive was established at the University in 1981 with funding from the Scottish Arts Council. Today it consists of over 100 collections created by corporate bodies like the National Theatre of Scotland and Scottish Ballet, as well as individuals including founder of the Citizens Theatre, James Bridie (1888-1951).

Each collection is different but will typically include scripts, programmes, production files, photographs and press cuttings. Further information can be found at Scottish Theatre Archive.

For full details, terms & conditions, and application process please see their website.

The deadline is 21st February 2025.
