As part of Suchu Dance's Artist In Residence program, artists receive free rehearsal and performance space and discounted rates on classes. The chosen artist receives general production support, including assistance in sourcing materials for sets, costumes and props, and administrative support. The program encourages emerging local artists to develop new work.

Suchu Dance artist in residence Aileen Mapes presents Dolce Far Nientem, her first full-evening work, which explores dance beyond the realms of the theater and beyond standard perceptions.
