Apply for the historically first tep39 open call, we are selecting 2 projects for the period of May-June.
WHAT’S GOING ON?
OPEN CALL: 1st RESIDENCY IN TEP39 is the first of a series of 4 planned open calls for 2021.
Our goal is to support professional artists in the beginning of their career in the field of physical, mime and dance theater, dance, performance and related nonverbal genres. We want to provide space for artists who do not yet have long-term support, are working on a current topic that would lose urgency by waiting for support, or are looking for a new direction in their practice without the necessity to create a show.
ABOUT US
Tep39 is a movement studio established in May 2020 in prostor39, a DIY revitalized house in Prague – Žižkov, providing space for culture of many genres. It is run jointly by Kachní spolek and prostor39. For more information see tep39.cz.
WHAT DO WE OFFER:
- 40 hours in tep39 during May and June, which can be used in the form of intensive residency or regular training. We will agree on specific dates and times with selected artists at the end of April.
- studio tep39, equipped with ballet floor, mirrors, basic sound, chill out zone
- guided feedback after the presentation / work in progress in tep39 (By agreement, it is possible to mediate or provide feedback also during the residency.)
- we do not provide accommodation or cover travel expenses for residents
WHO DO WE OFFER IT TO
The target group is mainly young artists at the beginning of their careers and those who are looking for new forms / paths. We target creators who need space for their research and are looking for new direction of their work, whether they are dancers, performers, mimes or other artists active in the field of movement theater. We will give priority to projects and creators who do not have long-term support and / or respond to current topics.
WHAT DO WE REQUEST
- presentation or work in progress with a length of 10-30 minutes for professional public
(There is no need to prepare a stage form, just a short presentation or performance of the collected material. We want to support not only the artists who are preparing a show, but also the research itself, the search for new authentic forms, etc. without the need for results.)
