Residency opportunity for improvisers and UnCabaret

Okay, two cool things I've stumbled upon:

Firstly, this residency opportunity: cool!

ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE PROGRAM AT EARTHDANCE
(PARTIAL SCHOLARSHIP/WORk-STUDY)
http://earthdance.net/waystobe.htm#artist
---
This is a call to dancers, improvisers, visual artists, writers,
and creators of all kinds. Do you have a piece that you have been
dreaming of completing surrounded by the quiet of forested hills?
Are you finishing your book or screenplay? Would you like to
spend a month in rural western Massachusetts, surrounded by trees,
land and sky? Earthdance offers artistic retreat residencies and
the opportunity to share your teaching treasures by offering a
weekly class to our residents and local community. In the
residency, we provide room and board and at least four hours of
studio time per day when available. The fee is $400 per month.
We ask for three hours of work exchange and one class per week. We
do not offer residencies in the summer months of June through August.

Of course, there's a million residency programs out there, but this one particularly caught my eye, having specifically put out the call to 'improvisers' - rare!

Secondly, UnCabaret as in the one I mentioned in the last post. Check it out, seriously, not only does the work sound fantastic (I practically drooled over my keyboard reading over it) but they've got a heap of cool - and more importantly, FREE - resources on there.

Dig it.
