North Carolina Choreographic FellowshipsTrillium Arts North Carolina The length of the Fellowship is seven to nine days and the choreographer can be joined by 1-4 additional dancers/collaborators. Due to shifts in funding, we will support up to three Fellowships either in late August-September 2025, or late May-June 2026. Specific dates WITHIN those timeframes can be somewhat flexible.

During the NCCF Fellowship, artists are invited to engage with the regional community in a variety of ways. During the residency, there may be a Meet the Artists event, or other opportunities to interact with Trillium’s growing cohort of local and regional artists. Trillium Arts acts as a facilitator for this “Exchange” portion of NCCF, providing suggestions for pairings and introductions as necessary. Beyond any selected engagements, this is a self-directed program, and the artists determine the specific ways to use their residency time. However, priority for NCCF awardees is given to artists who are at a catalytic point in their artistic career and are actively incubating a new project for future public presentation.
