Our exchange formats

The TANZRESIDENZ connects with other formats at the house, including the curated exhibition series at Q18, the Museumsnacht, and Dancing Donnerstag.

Studio Showing

A showing as part of the Q18 exhibition to share the outcome of the residency with the public.

Dancing Donnerstag

Last Thursday of the month, an hour to share your practice with everyone interested, to move together and to connect with the scene. It is possible to have a showing afterwards.

Selection process

The criteria for selection are the artistic vision, the intention for the residency, the possibilities to develop a connection with the house, the viability of the project in our space and the thorough application.

An important factor in the decision is to create a balanced program that encompasses a variety of themes and intentions, as well as supporting artists at different stages of their careers. It is also essential for us to promote sustainability in artistic biographies, therefore we need to understand how the project relates to this. Moreover, we are interested in what you would like to do concretely during the residency, for example if the idea consists of several phases and you want to realize only one of them in Quartier am Hafen.

We prioritize artists and groups who are based in Cologne.

The selection for the next season will be made by Enis Turan and Silvia Ehnis Perez Duarte. The decision will be communicated at the end of September.

IMPORTANT NOTES

TANZRESIDENZ does not provide technical support.
The program does not cover travel, accommodation, or production costs.
