This residency and/or performance opportunity is open to performance artists innovating their work via avant garde and experimental practices, creating a theatre which is both disobedient and personal, experimental and stimulating, non-profit but sustainable, subversive and independent.
SubScena for theater, performance and hybrid art (a non-profit partner project by Autonomous Cultural Center Attack and Cirkorama Association, realised at AKC Medika in Zagreb, Croatia) is dedicated to supporting original performance, dance, circus and theatrical styles. SubScena connects and develops diverse practices of avant-garde artists and art collectives, via introducing and developing independent, original and stimulating art in the project’s alternative framework. SubScena’s year-round programme is based on local, regional and international art productions and coproductions, guest performances & residencies. They welcome any and all experimental theatrical practices – disobedient and intimist; nonprofit and sustainable; subversive and independent.
SubScena is specifically oriented towards supporting creative endeavours of emerging performance groups and artists aiming to overcome geographical, national, religious, gender and ethnic qualifications in their national or international collaborations and productions. By providing a safe production, collaboration and presentation space for residents and visiting artists, the programme aims to empower the independent DIY and underground performance scene in Croatia and beyond, and to support artistic research and the creation of new performance modes and open discussions enabling an active public insight.
