2017 WILL SEE OUR RESIDENCY PROGRAMME EXPANDED:
In 2017, residential bursaries lasting several weeks will be awarded in addition to the general residency programme. These, within the context of a specific topic, will make it possible for the applicant to incorporate or even take part in symposia, discussions, presentations, workshops and other public events taking place at the same time. Artists, academics, experts and journalists are invited to apply with their own project proposals that should be geared towards the central theme.

The call for submissions and thematic guidelines for these special residencies will be published on our website in September 2016.

PACT Zollverein / Choreographisches Zentrum NRW and its residency programme are supported by the Ministry for Families, Children, Youth, Culture and Sports of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia and the City of Essen. Tanzlandschaft Ruhr is supported by the Kultur Ruhr GmbH.
