Summer residential programs for professional independent creators/artists 2022

RESIDENCE PROGRAMS FOR INDEPENDENT CREATORS

/ PERFORMING ARTS /

Residential programs for independent artists are one of the support programs that the CO.LABS - Zone of Independent Art offers to professional artists in the field of performing arts. They are an integral part of dramaturgy focused on new drama (New Theatre), physical theatre and dance and frontier theatrical forms. Residential programs for individuals and groups – local and foreign. CO.LABS considers the provision of concentrated time and space for creation without pressure on the result to be absolutely crucial. The creative platform creates a full-fledged space adapted to the needs of the entire creative / staging team. The creative process takes place in one of the spaces of the CO.LABS – Rehearsal room, Workshop hall, Theater hall or Park – open air space. The center of events is a Cowork area of the self-service café suitable for everyday work or network. An integral part of residential programs is the possibility of accommodation directly in the building – we focus on the most intense and creative stay. We will provide comprehensive facilities and infrastructure – we will give you our space, time and energy.

In the past, residencies in the CO.LABS were attended by UFFTENŽIVOT, Koťátko zkázy, Alica Minar, Viktor Černický, Sociálně kulturní problém, Tereza Sikorová, Katarzyna Kamecká, Nhung Company.

Part of the residential programs is the possibility of future cooperation in the form of co-productions, permanent residency groups, etc.
