dance + visual theatre residency in aarhus, denmark

Bora Bora Residency Centre is an international residency center, based in Aarhus, with a focus on artistic and economically sustainable conditions for the development of the artistic practice and works, for professional artists mostly within the field of contemporary dance.

This year the Residency Centre organizes an open call to find artists in need of a residency. Either to immerse themselves in their artistic practice and/or the development of a project. We design each residency by engaging in analytical dialogue, where we explore the artistic focus for the residency. Each of these residencies includes fees for participating artists, paid transportation and accommodation, as well as a contributing person (see below).

All Bora Bora residencies will take place at either Bora Bora or one of the project’s Danish co-hosts that encompass theaters, folk-highschools and other performing arts organizations.

Residencies may be for the following purposes

• Research: Early developing and exploration of an artistic idea
• Development: Taking an already developed idea to the next stage
• Exploration: Exploring a new direction of your artistic work and practice or a new collaboration
• Post production: Taking up an already premiered work for reflection, further development or preparing it for touring
