Studio-residence Tilburg

On basis of availability we offer the opportunity for emerging dance-, performance-art, mime and visual-artists to make use of our daylight-studio in Tilburg. Our aim is to stimulate the creation of interdisciplinary artworks between dance, theatre, performance-art, digital art and visual art. Hopefully we can inspire each other.

Our studio is ‘white cube-style’ and very suitable for artists that want to cross the borders between theatre and visual arts. lt is approximately 100m2, 3m high, white walls, white curtains, grey vinyl (floating) dancefloor.

In the beginning of This is not a show we always felt the desire to have more space to experiment and try out before making our plans concrete. So with offering this opportunity for studiospace we aim to stimulate this preparation-phase of interesting emerging artistic projects. We expect no results, just that you use the time and space respectfully (!), to conceptualize a more concrete plan and eventually find presenting- and production-partners.
