2.Transparency of your activities during the residency.

At DaBY, we uphold the principle of not generating closed spaces to ensure a healthy creation
environment. We aim to practice “fair creation” by fostering a space where participating creators
and staff can communicate equally. Our archive area and the acting area are open to the public,
making the creative process transparent and connecting the theater with everyday life.
*It is also possible to temporarily close doors and windows and use the space in a closed
state during tryouts or when focused work is needed.
*If you wish to use the space in a closed manner based on the nature of your work,
indicate this in your application or consult with us each time.

3.Event collaboration at DaBY

We ask you to share your experiences at DaBY to whatever extent possible. This includes a
workshop or a seminar in collaboration with DaBY, or casting DaBY resident dancers for your
project. Please be ready to assist if we approach you about hosting an event.

You must hold a performance (a work-in-progress or a tryout) at DaBY on the last day(s) of your residency.

We are able to arrange auditions for recruiting participants as per your request.
