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.
Each participating emerging artist will be paid a 150-400 € grant.
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).
- In addition, all twelve residencies will meet together in joint online meetings.
- The work is scheduled, organized, and guided by experienced mentors, providing opportunities for deeper transnational co-operation, networking and mentoring of given task in residence.
During the week we work as follows:
- Working online together: start, intermediate and final seminars to promote work in a large, international group
