Welcome to Studio 303’s online Archives!
This page exists to preserve our institutional memory and facilitate access to our history for artists and researchers. The Projects, Publications and Media sections offer a wide array of things to look at and read, while our Classes, Events, and Residencies sections feature lists of artists’ names (with a link to more context as of 2022). Artists! If you want to know if a video recording exists for a certain performance, have a look on this google sheet listing the majority of our video archives.
As a whole, our archives provide an important contribution to the underground heritage of dance and interdisciplinary performance, mapping the path taken by an idiosyncratic organization, and reflecting shifts in social history, programming practices and aesthetic trends. 303 archives are an important gateway into Montreal’s feminist and queer performance–for some years, Edgy Women was one of the only experimental feminist performance festivals in the world!
Currently, if you want to see our press clippings, flyers/posters, watch older videos (on VHS and Hi-8 or DVD), browse printed photos, old budgets, zines and other tangible fragments, you’ll have to come to our office and get your hands dirty.

RESIDENCIES
Since 1999, Studio 303 has hosted residencies to emerging and mid-career dance and interdisciplinary artists, as well as performance curators. Projects we support are often in the early stages of development, with a preference collaborative, risky, or experimental work. Here you find a list of past artists in residence at Studio 303.
PROJECTS
