Company Collaborators

Company Collaborators receive training, coaching and consultation from our Creative Directors, as well as support from the staff team, the board of directors, and other external consultants.

There are no current calls for submissions for the Company Collaborators program. Please sign up for our newsletter to stay up-to-date on opportunities to engage with Generator!

Generator’s residency programs were designed to promote capacity building, peer mentorship, and knowledge-sharing among companies, and with other artists the organization supports. Company Collaborators are organizations and companies who pay a fee to access Generator’s resources.

In our 2024/25 season, we are continuing our long-term engagement with Company Collaborator Shakespeare in the Ruff and move into our second season with Dancemakers. Our work with Company Collaborators is unique and responsive to each organizations’ needs, and we often collaborate on special initiatives and on joint programming.

We are excited by the work that these companies are planning in the near future! Learn more below.
