The RE-IMAGINE Green Residency Programme is a unique opportunity for critical minds to engage in transformative projects addressing the urgent challenges posed by climate change. The RE-IMAGINE Green Art Practices on the Margin project is a pioneering regional initiative, focusing on the green transformation of the performing arts sector, particularly in the Balkan region and Central Europe, where green transformation processes are at their early stages.
Participants in the residency programme will have the opportunity to develop projects aligned with the goals of the RE-IMAGINE project. Organisations are encouraged to imagine and explore new ways of incorporating environmentally sustainable practices within the performing arts and apply them to the open call as project proposals that will be developed during the residencies.
The residency programme will take place over a one-year period. It is composed of four five-day residencies in each RE-IMAGINE project partner country.
- Residency: Climate Literacy – April 2024, Bulgaria.
- Residency: Sustainable Preproduction – July 2024, Hungary.
- Residency: Green Artistic Approach and Production – October 2024, North Macedonia.
- Residency: Sustainable Distribution and Promotion – January 2025, Serbia.
The selected organisations should nominate two representatives – tandems (producer and artist) that should be able to participate in each of these residencies. The residency programme is foreseen to gather 12 organisations – 3 per project partner country. Entire residency costs (transportation, accommodation, and dietary costs) will be covered by the project partners. Following the residency program, a pitch event will be organised that will encompass presentations of projects developed during the programme. At the event, one project will be selected by an expert jury for co-financing its further development and implementation for the amount of 5000 euros.
Organisations, collectives, or informal groups of collaborators from the independent scene can apply with project proposals which should nominate two representatives for residency tandems (producer and artist). The RE-IMAGINE project specifically addresses the challenges faced by civil society organisations in Serbia, North Macedonia, Hungary, and Bulgaria.
