Open Call
2020 International Summer Program
The Watermill Center
Eligibility
A selection committee, including Robert Wilson, chooses the Summer Program participants. Participants are selected based on their artistic abilities and objectives, achievements, and creative potential, as well as how they might be served by, and contribute to, the Summer Program at Watermill. Selection is also determined based on the needs of the particular year’s workshops and activities, the need to maintain a diverse group of participants from varying disciplines, countries, and professional and artistic backgrounds, while aiming to ensure a balance between new and returning participants. In general we accept a large proportion of performers, dancers, actors and performance artists. We complement the group by inviting a select number of directors, sound designers and composers, set designers and architects, industrial designers, costume designers, lighting designers, dramaturges, writers and carpenters. Artists from all disciplines and backgrounds are welcome to apply.
Number of Participants
Each summer, we welcome over 80 artists from more than 25 countries from a variety of backgrounds and artistic disciplines.

Program Description
Since 1992, The Watermill Center has hosted the International Summer Program, uniting over 80 artists from more than 25 countries for a five-week creative intensive. The Summer Program provides a unique opportunity to work with established professionals in the international arts world; to forge an international community of artists from a broad range of experience levels and disciplines; and to investigate what it means to be a “global artist.” The International Summer Program is focused on collaboration and building an artistic community. Every participant contributes to the development of site-specific works, performing arts and design workshops, as well as attending lectures and taking part in landscaping, construction and design projects. Artists apply as individuals and participate in all aspects of programmed projects and activities.
