We are now looking for emerging theatre artists for the first digital residency, via an OPEN CALL

Theatre in Palm, international project funded by Creative Europe, is hosting a digital residency on 6–10 February 2023.

The project will later host two more residencies during the 3-year-project.

The residency is aimed at emerging theatre artists, such as

  • Theatre or performing arts students,
  • recent graduates (0-5 years),
  • people interested in gaining new professional competences and making new openings in the field of performing arts,
  • other newcomers in the field of professional theatre.

The content of the digital residency

The theme of the residency is ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT. The impulse material and starting point for collaboration in residency work is:

  • Antigone -play and in particular the study of the moral contradictions of the characters in the play of Sophocles
  • Opening Speech of António GUTERRES (U.N. Secretary-General) in the climate conference Egypt on 7th of November 2022
  • as well as chosen object important to emerging artist oneself that symbolizes a value or a thing that you do not want to lose

The selected emerging artists for the residency will receive a pre-task well in advance of the start of the residency. Selected artists will get to know their duo-partner country also in advance.

Purpose

The aim of the residency and Theatre in Palm in general is to provide a platform for the European emerging theatre artists by e.g. providing concrete opportunities for career advancement and internationalization.

  • In the residency artists share their thoughts and artistic methods collaborating with given impulse materials and based on a pre-task.
  • In the end of the week every duo will present a short (max. 5 minutes) presentation/showcase as a result of the collaboration.
  • In each Theatre in Palm country, 5 selected artists-in-residence will form a group that will work together locally, face-to-face.
  • These groups of 5 artists-in-residence will get to co-operate deeply with another partner country’s group, forming a joint duo residency (online).
