El Graner is opening up a new call for applications for support for residency projects from January to December 2025. This call is aimed at artists, groups and other professionals, both local and international, working in the fields of dance and the performing arts, and who are developing creative or research projects.
The 2025 residencies are divided into six different types:
- Associated Artist (9,000 EUR over two years): For artists and groups who reside in Catalonia to develop creative projects which are, at the time of the call for applications, at the research, creation or production stage
- Creation (3,300 EUR per project): For local, national and international artists and groups working in the fields of dance and the performing arts and that have projects at the production stage
- Research (2,300 EUR per project): For local, national and international researchers, artists and groups working in the fields of dance and the performing arts and that are carrying out in 2025 a research project with the body, movement and choreographic thought as the main focus of the research
- Stage research light and sound (1,800 EUR per project): For local, national and international artists, creators and groups researching into lighting, sound and/or set design associated with the body, movement and choreographic thought as the main focus of the research
- Emerging artists (2,000 EUR per project): For artists and groups who reside in Catalonia at an initial stage of their professional activities
- Practical methodologies, professional community and non-professional community (2,000 EUR per project): For local, national and international artists and/or groups researching into individual and proprietary methodologies associated with the body, in which exchanges and transfers with different types of communities are required for the development of work tools
In addition to the grant funding, there is the possibility of covering travel expenses or artistic mentorship depending on the project. There is also coverage of travel expenses to attend the two annual APLEC meetings, a programme held at El Graner twice a year aimed at artists selected through a public call. Travel coverage will only be provided to the individual beneficiary of the call or to the representative of the group/company in the case of a legal entity. Only national or European travel will be included.
A single artist may apply for up to two grant types. If accepted, however, they will only be awarded one of the grants.
