APPLICATIONS TILL 26 March 2024
K3 | Tanzplan Hamburg and Centre de Création O Vertigo – CCOV are offering an International Residency Exchange.
From July through September, two choreographers (one from Quebec and one from Germany) will shadow each other by engaging in feedback & dialogue as each pursues an individual creative project. A series of online encounters scheduled early in the process will serve to determine common areas of interest and lay a foundation of trust for the program’s duration. The Quebec choreographer will spend four weeks in Hamburg (August 2024), and the German choreographer will spend four weeks in Montreal (September 2024). The host organizations will support the choreographers by helping coordinate a variety of activities that respond to their individual interests. This could take the form of workshops, sharing sessions, and networking activities.
CCOV is looking for a choreographer to take part in this exchange. Applicants must be available for the following:
- A series of online meetings in June & July;
- To travel & work in Germany during the month of August;
- Approximately four in-person meetings in Montreal in September
- An online review meeting in October.
Eligible participants will be residents of Quebec who are legally entitled to work in Canada. The CCOV and K3 are interested in offering this residency to independent professional choreographers for whom this would be one of their first international research residencies. The successful candidate will present a strong individual research project while explaining their interest & motivation to engage in the exchange of ideas with a peer from Germany.

Note – Peer-to-peer exchange is a key element of this program.

These ideas will be developed in concert with the interests and availability of all participants.
