Short Description
Guided by open curiosity, Greylight Projects and schrit_tmacher Festival invites makers to reflect on relationships within themes like: technology, humanity, environment and society. The residency is aimed at artists who engage with these topics through forms of questioning such as research, dance, performance, installation, or other media.
The organization is delighted and highly interested in a new collaboration with the schrit_tmacher Festival. For the upcoming edition, they are jointly creating a residency for a creator or artist. This collaboration provides a space for exploratory work at the intersection of visual arts and dance, emphasizing reflection, movement, and spatial awareness. The resident or artist will present their practice within the framework of the festival, contributing to an in-depth dialogue between the two disciplines.
