REZI.DANCE

THE LOCATION:

• The REZI.DANCE association is located at POD JAVORY 17 in the village of Komařice where it operates an artist residency for performing arts. It is the first house in the Czech Republic offering residencies exclusively for performing arts. REZI.DANCE functions in between arts and creative industry; it is open to artists, art groups, but also to cultural managers or entire production teams. An emphasis is put on a connection to Komařice where folk traditions are kept alive and a responsible approach to the surroundings nurtured.
