Island Connect residency for performing artists 2024–2026
Island Connect is calling for applications from artists in the performing arts for three open calls for residencies across seven islands (Bornholm – Denmark, Vis – Croatia, Ireland, Mallorca, Corsica, Sardinia, or Tenerife) at different times throughout 2024–2026.
All artists wishing to participate will be asked to critically engage with the themes of insularity, islander identities or island socio-political realities in a wider European context, comparing the similarities and difficulties that emerge from diverse island regions of the project.
Artists are encouraged to interact with the island area and community. The length of the residencies will be two weeks with a work-in-progress presentation of the work by the end of the term.
The Island Connect programme will be complemented each year by a 5-day SpringLab. The next SpringLab is in Tenerife, Spain, from 30 March to 5 April 2025. This free training is a mandatory part of the programme.
Eligibility
Applicants must be a performing artist based in Denmark, Croatia, Ireland, the Balearic Islands, Corsica or France, Sardinia or Italy, the Canary Islands, Madeira, or Finland.
There are also specific guidelines for each call and each location.
