Mophradat has partnered again with Kunstencentrum BUDA in Belgium, this time to offer two opportunities to performing artists from the Arab world:
- A one-week residency (27 June – 2 July 2022) in BUDA for artists in a research phase to continue developing their project using BUDA’s facilities. Mophradat will support the selected applicant (working with maximum two collaborators) will their travel, visa costs, and per diem. BUDA will cover accommodation and meals.
- A three-week residency (October/November 2022) for artists in the last phase of their project to use BUDA’s facilities to finalise their piece. Immediately following the residency, the new work will be performed during the 2022 edition of NEXT Festival, which takes place across the Eurometropolis region of Kortrijk and Tournai in Belgium, and Lille and Valenciennes in France. The selected applicant (working with maximum three collaborators) will have their travel and visa costs, per diem, and honoraria covered, in addition to receiving a contribution to their project’s production costs, and a presentation fee for the performance at NEXT Festival.
Applicants must be working with contemporary forms of performance (classical theatre, community theatre, classic dance, and so forth, are not eligible). Unconventional projects dealing with experimental forms and/or concerned with progressive discourses are encouraged to apply.
