Ponderosa
Winter residency
Ponderosa is a place for writers, performers and artists who would like to research, rehearse, and refine their work. Residencies at Ponderosa provide everything that is needed for deep and concentrated work, while also allowing for a collective experience, shared social spaces, and collective discussion and exchange with like-minded artists. They offer one old farm, with four studios (two of them are heatable) and endless surrounding fields, forests, lakes, and rivers in the area of the Nationalpark Unteres Odertal, right by the Oder river marking the border between Germany and Poland – all of this to trigger your imagination and creativity.
The residency offers both shared dormitory sleeping and single rooms. Participants share a living space and a kitchen with a fireplace. Residencies often involve shared dinners, cats on your lap, deep thoughts, focused time, and the possibility for sustained creative work. Participants often share physical and artistic practices, as well as work-in-progess showings, discussion, and feedback.
