    International Residency Exchange Program

    In 2010, the NSW Minister for the Arts announced a new international residency exchange program to support NSW artists.

    This program provides travel and accommodation costs for NSW artists travelling overseas. Initiatives supported through this program include:

    The British Council

    The British Council provides an opportunity for an emerging performing arts producer from NSW to undertake a paid three to six month professional placement at leading UK company, English Touring Theatre (ETT).  ETT is the UK’s first producer-led touring company. The company works with the country’s leading directors and practitioners to produce artistically ambitious theatre that is vigorous, popular and challenging as well as confident and forward-looking.
