Open call Chamäleon: Residency 2024/25
Open call
Deadline:November 28, 2024
After our first residency focused on Berlin artists (Ana Jordão and Vincent Kollar with 'A Body and Other Objects'), we expanded our reach to artists from all over Germany, welcoming Leela Tinelli, Laura Stokes and their collaborators for 'On the Edge'.
Our last Chamäleon Residency for this cycle now focuses on international artists from all over the world. The selected artists will be invited to work in our rehearsal space in Berlin for 3 weeks and will receive financial and structural support to develop their own artistic project.
Thanks to the funding of the Theaterpreis des Bundes, we can offer the selected artists not only fees, rehearsal space, dramaturgical and production support, but also travel and accommodation costs.
The jury for our third residency consists of Chang Nai Wen (Founder and Artistic Director | Sisyphos, der Flugelefant), Geordie Brookman (Dramaturge, Chamäleon Berlin) and Ana Jordão (Circus Artist and former Chamäleon Residency Artist). Two jury members are still to be confirmed and will be announced as soon as possible.
The residency must take place between March 1 and April 15, 2025.
Applications may not include more than two artists, at least one of whom must be outside Germany. Solo projects will only be considered from international applicants.
We want to support courageous circus projects that follow open creative processes and find attractive interfaces with other areas of the performing arts. We support those that follow open creative processes and find attractive interfaces with other areas of the performing arts. We encourage applications from artists and groups that want to address social, political and ecological issues. In this way, we hope to strengthen the thematic diversity of new circus projects. As a cultural organisation, Chamäleon wants to enable fairer access to the art form and therefore we especially encourage artists who have experienced discrimination to apply. We see ourselves as a learning institution that continues to educate itself and critically examines its own role and the limitations of our perspectives.
