This open call is for one residency of three months (1 January – 30 March 2026), organised by Greylight Projects (Heerlen, NL) in collaboration with the international dance festival schrit_tmacher. The residency offers space for visual artists, dancers, choreographers and performers to deepen their practice and expand their network.
Guided by open curiosity, Greylight Projects and schrit_tmacher Festival invites makers to reflect on relationships within themes like: technology, humanity, environment and society. The residency is aimed at artists whose work engages with these questions through forms such as research, dance, performance, installation or other media.
The residency encourages interdisciplinary approaches and forms that expand conventional boundaries of art and performance and practices that explore storytelling, personal or collective narratives, untold stories, revealing experiences that are often overlooked or unspoken.
The residency takes place at Greylight Projects in Heerlen, the Netherlands. At the beginning of schrit_tmacher Festival, the artist will give a public presentation or talk as an introduction to their practice. At the end of the festival, the residency will culminate in a final presentation of the developed work or research.
Support includes:
- A studio space of approximately 40m² at Greylight Projects in Heerlen. The studio also serves as the living space.
- The residency provides a fee of 1,000 EUR per month as a contribution towards living and other expenses and an additional fee of 500 EUR is available for the two presentation moments during the festival
