The core of the workshop is action; going from idea to a finished product in the span of two weeks in the small fishing village of Seyðisfjőrður located in the narrow East-fjords of Iceland.

The Watermill Center invites emerging artists to submit proposals for the
creation of collaborative work that “critically investigates, challenges,
and extends the existing norms of performance practice.” Proposals can be
made for the further development of works-in-progress or for entirely new
works. The Center also welcomes research proposals from established
scholars. Residencies can range from one to four weeks and are scheduled
throughout the fall (September-December) and spring (February-June). While
at Watermill, residents are required to conduct at least one public
presentation, such as an open rehearsal, screening, or talk. Applications
are accepted online; click here for complete guidelines:
