Artistic residencies in 2025 - Open call
#opencall
We invite dance artists with innovative ideas to apply for a residency at the Mediterranean Dance Center in San Vincenti (Svetvinčenat), located in the heart of Istria, Croatia. If you work in contemporary dance, physical theatre, performance art, or other hybrid artistic practices connected to dance, we want to hear from you. If you are looking for time to research, be inspired by nature, and enjoy the tranquility of a small Istrian town, consider applying. In 2025, between April and November, we are organizing artistic residencies. A standard residency lasts 7 to 10 days, but longer stays can be requested with justification in the application.
CONDITIONS OF THE CALL
During the residency, selected artists will live and work in the Center.
The studio is 9 x 20 meters, with a wooden floor (optional black or white dance floor), basic working lights (no special technical equipment), a wardrobe, sanitary facilities, and a kitchenette.
MDC can accommodate up to 5 people in a shared sleeping area on the upper floor above the studio. For groups exceeding 5 people, please provide details in your application. MDC will cover food expenses during the residency.
If offered a residency, we expect you to accept the above conditions, cover your travel expenses, and offer a public presentation of your work at the end of your stay. If you feel you are not yet ready to share the work with an audience, you may choose to lead a workshop instead. Or you can do both – which is preferred. Other formats, such as round tables or the presentation of a different work during your stay, are also welcome.
NOTE: In the final steps of the application process, you will have the option to choose whether and how much you would like to donate. Donations help with minor repairs and maintenance of the residency space. Donating is optional and will not affect the selection process.
The deadline to apply is January 7, 2025, at 23:59 CET.
HOW TO APPLY?
The application process includes basic information about the applicant, previous work, the new project, and supporting documents.
