Tanzplattform Rhein-Main is hosting a residency for a team of two people between Monday, April 21 and Sunday, April 27, 2025 as part of its HOST program.
Disabled, Deaf and/or chronically sick artists from the Rhine-Main region are invited to apply together as a team or individually. Rehearsal stage 2 at Künstler*innenhaus Mousonturm is reserved for the residency for 7 days and will be accompanied by Alexandra Hennig, dramaturge, and Lea Gockel, coordinator for inclusive cultural work and access dramaturgy.
Disabled, Deaf and/or chronically ill artists dance artists still have little access to established theater institutions in Germany, regardless of the quality of their work.
HOST is intended to be a first step within the framework of the Rhine-Main Dance Platform to break down barriers to professional working structures and at the same time strengthen perspectives, body knowledge and artistic practices from the disabled and deaf culture in the dance scene. A showing or sharing, which will be advertised via the Tanzplattform, is possible on Thursday 24.04.
The program host provides two fees of € 1050 each, accessibility costs and material costs as well as technical support for the residency, travel and accommodation for the artists from the Rhine-Main region can be covered by arrangement.
