From 7 to 10 November 2024 Dansehallerne in collaboration with Andrea Zavala Folache and Adriano Wilfert Jensen and EDN will host the EDN Carte Blanche Artist Exchange: Dancing While Writing While Changing A Diaper: A practical reflection on how artistic practice and childcare could reorganise each other.
This Carte Blanche Artist Exchange is a 4-day collective residency open to 20 national and international artists, choreographers and other dance professionals which aims to encourage collective reflection and action when performing (im)possibilities in the simultaneity of artistic practice and childcare.
Bringing artistic practice and childcare into cohabitation, the programme proposes to gather around these questions: How can artistic practice inspire doing childcare differently and how can childcare reorganise artistic labour?
The intention is to co-create a space where professionals and children can engage, think and move poly-rhythmically together. This artist exchange involves score writing, dancing, talking and cooking together.
Artists are invited to participate together with their children and fellow child carer(s). EDN can reimburse a fixed amount of travel contribution, book and cover up to three nights of accommodation for a limited number of participants and their children. Priority will be given to EDN members and their associates. A participation fee of 150 EUR will be invoiced to the participant or their organisation. EDN members are invited to respond to the Travel Bursaries Open Call on behalf of their associated artists and other freelance professionals.
