OPEN CALL

Three residencies for children's theater makers in Bremen
 
The LAFDK announces open CALLS for three residencies in 2022 as part of the project kindertheater_netzwerk Bremen. These are aimed at actors who develop and perform plays and projects for young audiences. The residencies offer the opportunity to devote themselves to a freely chosen topic in a rehearsal space that is barrier-free and suitable for dance.

The residencies invite the participants to experiment and develop new projects. The residents can decide how they would like to present their preliminary results to a professional audience.

The call is addressed to:
- Associations of three professional artists who develop and perform plays and projects for young audiences, regardless of their discipline.
- At least one person from the group should be artistically active in the state of Bremen.
- Cooperation between actors from the region and surrounding states is encouraged. 

This is what the residents can expect:
- Fee in the amount of max. 750 € per person / 5-day week (brutto)
- Free use of the residence incl. available technical equipment
- Presentation of the work results in an informal setting in front of a professional audience
- Support from the kindertheater_netzwerk team in the areas of organization, administration and public relations
