北威州文化局：北威州舞蹈研究 2026 年研究驻地

The NRW KULTURsekretariat together with the tanz nrw 27 festival presents TANZRECHERCHE × SPRUNGBRETT, a production‑independent research grant for dance, choreography and performance artists. Two calls are open: (1) emerging artists based in North Rhine‑Westphalia (graduates or early‑career professionals) and (2) international choreographers and dance artists from abroad. Selected recipients receive a €5,000 grant per residency for 1–2 participants, covering a two‑week residency (26 April – 10 May 2027) in Wuppertal or Essen, use of venue resources, dramaturgical advice, organisational support, travel costs calculated, accommodation costs covered with assistance in finding lodging, and a documentation/material budget by agreement. The residency is followed by participation in the tanz nrw 27 festival (12–23 May 2027). Applications are submitted via a Google Form. The call runs annually in autumn, with the 2027 edition’s application period from 29 September to 3 November 2026.
