Davvi Centre for Performing Arts
Davvi - Centre for Performing Arts is offering professional performing artists the possibility to apply for the Artist in Residency program.
In the residency, they accept all projects within contemporary performing art. Both laboratory projects, as well as nearly finished performances, can be accepted. In your application, it is important to write how a residence at Davvi will gain the artistic development of your project.
They select artists in residence by a few criteria:
- Norwegian applicants have priority
- The project must have a need for a residency
- Professional partners and collaborators
- All genres within contemporary performing arts can apply
- Implementation capacity
- In selecting groups, they aim to give residency to a vast variety of artists and projects.
They will be looking at why you apply for a residency at Davvi - Centre for performing arts and what you want to gain from working here.
They ask all the artists in residence to open up for an audience viewing or some other public presentation during their stay: a public showing of a work in progress.
During a residency you will have access to our fully equipped dance studio 24-7. The studio measures 16 x 10 x 4 meters. There is a PA, working and stage lights, mirror wall, dance floor, and a large window wall towards the harbour and city center. The windows may be blinded.
The residency house is close to the city center, approximately five minutes walk from the Arctic Cultural Center. There are four bedrooms and all modern facilities including free WIFI connection. The house has a beautiful view of the harbour.
