We would also like to use this opportunity to start a special edition of Unfinished Fridays for children. We want to inspire movement artists to try their hand at creating dance works with a young audience in mind.

For these two special JUNIOR editions of Unfinished Fridays we are looking for dance and performance artists to take part in a 1 – 2 week production residency at LAKE Studios to develop a performance work for children. We welcome both new concepts as well as the continued development of existing works. We will be organizing two performance events, one for children in ages 3 – 6 and one for older children ages 7 – 12. In addition, we will ask the artists to give a short movement introduction workshop to the children before the showing and engage in a feedback session with the children at the end of the performance.

What we can offer:

– 300€ fee per performer, choreographer, and collaborating artist.

– 700€ fee for each onsite collaborator at the residency

– 120€ workshop fee for the movement workshop teacher(s)

– 1 – 2 week residency at LAKE to develop the work between 4.6. – 19.6.

– Performance on 20.6. or 21.6. with tech support

– Accommodation in a double or single room / travel costs

– Professional video of your work from the performance

Application Requirements:

– one member of the team able to teach in the German language. 

– ability to write an invoice
