K3 - Zentrum für Choreographie | Tanzplan Hamburg provides three eight-month residencies to choreographers, who are currently at the beginning of their career and have produced some choreographic work of their own.
The residency includes mentoring and dramaturgical, technical, and production related support. It moreover links the projects proposed by the choreographers in residence closely to the various other on-going programs of K3.
The goal of the residency is to develop and strengthen the connections between choreographic practice, research, artistic production, and qualification. The length of eight months should provide sufficient time and space for overcoming conventional rhythms of production and open up space for exchange with other artists and interested parties in order to receive new impulses and contacts. Over the course of the residency the three choreographers can each develop a full-length piece that is presented at the end of the residency on three evenings on the stages of Kampnagel in Hamburg.
For choreographers interested in applying to the residency programme have the possibility to attend two informational zooms on 30 June – 10am (CET) and 2 August – 5pm (CET).
The residency programme coversa monthly scholarship (for living expenses and accommodation in Hamburg), one-time travel expenses from and to place of residence, support in obtaining necessary papers/Visa and costs of related costs as well as a moderate production budget for the performances at the end of the residency, which allows for a small team over the last few weeks of the residency. After consulting with K3, accessibility costs can be covered in most cases.
The applicant must be at the beginning of their career, have already implemented some projects of their own (outside of a university context) and be interested both in engaging in exchange with other artists, as well as with an interested audience. Only applications by individuals can be accepted. The organisers accept applications in all choreographic fields (e.g. dance for young audience, public space) and from all nationalities. Applicants from marginalised communities are encouraged to apply. Deadline for submiting the applications is 11 August. More information about the Open Call can be found here.
