DEADLINE: 20.10.2023
From April 26 until May 5 2024 the Center for Choreography Bleiburg/Pliberk invites (groups of) artists to a 10-day interdisciplinary residency in Carinthia.
The aim of the residency is to enable artists to deepen and further develop an artistic question in a free and at the same time protected framework. The residency should be interdisciplinary, with dance being represented. During the residency phases, the artists are invited for to explore and reflect on an artistic question on the theme of TURNING POINT (ZEITENWENDE). The residency does not have to be linked to a concrete project.
The state of work will be presented on the last day in a final public presentation (studio visit, public performance, workshop, exhibition or similar).
