Dance Research NRW
Dance Research NRW is an international scholarship programme initiated and supported by NRW KULTURsekretariat. It addresses dancers, performers and choreographers for whom it enables residencies for several weeks, unrelated to concrete artistic productions.
“Dance Research NRW” aims to promote experimental working practices which expand professional skills and networks. Focusing on interdisciplinary encounters, it invites new aesthetics and opens spaces for exploration and discovery.
The supported artists or artistic research projects relate to one or more of the 20 member cities of the NRW KULTURsekretariat. The programme fosters mobility for artists coming to the NRW region from abroad or starting from the NRW region and traveling abroad.
