Poland’s National Institute of Music and Dance has announced the second call for applications for the ‘Dancing Together, Again!’ creative residency project implemented under the Creative Europe programme. Its main objectives include cultural exchange, interaction between artists, producers and dance researchers with an emphasis on the creative process and integration with local communities.
The programme includes residencies organised from 2023-2024 in Georgia, Croatia, Italy, and Poland, respectively. The second of the residencies, i.e. the one to which this call for applications pertains, will take place in Rijeka, Croatia, between 3-24 September 2023. It will be co-organised by the National Institute of Music and Dance and the TRAFIK Dance / Theatre Co. based in Croatia. Its topic will be sustainability as seen through the lens of dance and performing arts. Participants will develop a joint strategy for environmental protection, with a particular focus on the Adriatic Sea region. The residency will be curated by Žak Valenta.
The project is addressed to all people involved in dance who work in one of 3 groups:
- Artist – choreographers and dancers.
- Curator – producers, organizers and presenters.
- Researcher – philosophers, theorists, historians, critics, documentarians and kinetographers.
This call for application involves no restrictions based on age, cultural background or special needs. The organisers will provide participants with adequate space for creative work, accommodation, food, insurance, stipend, and reimbursement of transportation costs.
Residency participants will be selected in the course of calls for applications organised simultaneously in all partner countries: Georgia, Croatia, Italy, and Poland.
