MUSIKTHEATERTAGE WIEN is an international festival that creates, curates and co-produces contemporary music theatre, always looking for new connections between music, text, space, technology and artists.
In June 2023, music theatre collectives and artists are invited to participate in a one-week-residency in Vienna, Austria. It is an opportunity for international artists to work on their projects in a focused and safe environment while also experiencing the diverse contemporary music theatre scene in Vienna and having the chance to establish new connections and relationships within the local performing arts network.
MUSIKTHEATERTAGE WIEN will be hosting four residencies in 2023 and 2024, as part of the EU-funded residency project ‘What’s Next?’. The first of these will take place 12-19 June 2023 in Vienna, Austria and is open to collectives and artist groups within the field of contemporary music theatre who are currently working on a project. (Max. number of 8 people.)
The festival team is primarily looking for artists that are open to connecting with their peers to build a lasting network. They are aiming for an active exchange between the resident artists and the artistic directors of MUSIKTHEATERTAGE WIEN during the duration of the stay.
Offered:
- Travel to and from Vienna and living quarters provided (free of charge).
- Each artist receives a daily allowance of 30 Euros.
- Resident artists are provided with a 200 square-metre working and rehearsal space in Vienna (22nd district), including sound equipment (technical requirements are to be clarified in advance).
- During the residency, the artists will be provided with opportunities to connect with Austrian music theatre creators as well as visit current cultural events and productions (Wiener Festwochen etc.).
- The residency will be concluded with a friendly gathering of the local music theatre network and an informal presentation by the visiting artists.
