Running all year round since 2002, the residency programme is at the heart of PACT Zollverein’s day to day work. The programme is open to professional artists from Germany and abroad who work in the areas of dance, performance, media arts or music and who are closely linked to PACT’s two other core strands of activity in presenting work and facilitating research and development. This initiative is a key element in PACT Zollverein’s profile as an Artists’ House supporting lively exchange between practice and theory.
The next residency period will run from August to December 2025 and will have a duration of 3 to 6 weeks in Essen, Germany. PACT facilitates barrier-free and family-friendly residences by arrangement.
The residency includes:
- Studio space (from 69 to 173 sq. m.)
- Local accommodation (max. 4 people)
- Period of 3 – 6 weeks (at a stretch)
- Weekly grant allowance for all of the residency project participants (max. 4 people)
- Travel costs covering one journey only per participant to and from PACT Zollverein (max. 4 people)*
- Technical equipment (by arrangement and subject to availability)
- Professional technical support (by arrangement and subject to availability)
*Principally, the least environmentally harmful means of transport available should be chosen.
