The Theatre in Palm partner countries will organise 12 local residencies for emerging artists in 2024. Each of the 12 partner countries will host five emerging artists for two weeks in their local venues.
Theatre in Palm’s residencies give the artists an opportunity for professional development and to build their networks in Europe. The main goal of the residencies is to foster collaboration, inspire and share insights and experiences while creating new relationships.
Each residency will work on a co-production that can take many different forms. It can be artworks, plays, scripts, performance works, recorded performances, videos, text, paintings and more. The only requirement is that it must be able to be displayed digitally in the project’s digital library – Theatre Repository.
Residency theme will be one of these, or a combination of these: Social impact, General equality, and/or Environmental sustainability.
Applicants can apply if they are:
- An emerging artist in the field of performing arts
- A newcomer in the field of professional theatre
- Interested in gaining new professional competencies and making new openings in the field of performing arts
- Willing to collaborate/cooperate outside of their own profession
