OPEN CALL: Residency for dance artists


The Quartier am Hafen is open again for applications for the residency program in studio 0.10 from January to December 2020. The program aims to support artistic/professional development and provides professional working conditions for dance artists in the city of Cologne and two periods for dance artists from other regions.

The program offers a fully subsidized rehearsal space for a 1–3 week period with the option for showings and exchange formats to connect to other artists and build an audience. Professional dance artists, ensembles and collaborative dance-related projects located in Cologne may apply.

To support the regional network, we also host two residencies for artists outside of Cologne, offering the rehearsal space and accommodation for up to 3 guests (for bigger teams please contact us). The residency may be used for the following purposes:

  • Production-Rehearsal for a production with premiere in 2020
  • Methodic Research-Development of individual/collective practice and artistic profile
  • Conceptual Research
  • Physical try-outs for projects in conceptual phase. This is open for projects from choreography, interdisciplinary/performance, dance dissemination and cultural education with focus on dance

Important: The Residency Program does not provide technical support, cover travel costs or production costs for the artists. It only provides housing for the resident artists coming from outside of Cologne.
