Harriet Friedlander New York residency, 2018 - 2019
Harriet Friedlander was a dedicated supporter of the arts, who loved New York, believing that the city nurtured artists. She established this residency in 2008. It is gifted every two years and sends an artist to experience New York with $100,000 to cover their living expenses. This residency is not open for applications.
In 2018 Lucy Marinkovich and Lucien Johnson were awarded the Harriet Friedlander New York Residency from the Arts Foundation of New Zealand.
Dance Nucleus, Singapore 2017
In July 2017, Lucy Marinkovich spent a month in Singapore on a residency with Dance Nucleus, an independent body funded through the Singapore National Arts Council. Working with nine local Singaporean dancers, Lucy developed the new 30 minute dance work, The Shyness of Trees. Using piano music by Lucien Johnson, performed and recorded in Paris by Jeffrey Grice, the work takes an ecological phenomenon to explore urban isolation and loneliness.

The mediterranean dance Centre, croatia 2016
Facilitated by the Zagreb Dance Company, the two-week residency at the Mediterranean Dance Centre in the Istrian town of Svetvinčenat, Croatia, was undertaken by composer Lucien Johnson and choreographer/dancer Lucy Marinkovich. This residency was used as an incubator for their creative relationship under Borderline, and to explore simultaneous creation methodologies for dance and music. Inspired by the otherworldly Zadar Sea Organ, and Zagreb's Museum of Broken Relationships, the project they began development on, ORGANS, researched personal and cultural understandings of musical, physical, and our emotional relationship to these.
