IN PROCESS - Injections

[Deadline 03-06-2022]

Creating art for the stage is a collaboration between many artistic disciplines and experiences, but most often in the well known constellation of artists, designers and producers. But outside the darkness of the black box there are other disciplines with other types of knowledge and experiences that at first sight aren't part of the artistic team. With this open call, HAUT and Åbne Scene encourage artists to open their artistic space and enter into a dialogue with other types of knowledge and experiences. Knowledge and experiences existing in the local area where the residency will take place: Århus.

With IN PROCESS - Injections HAUT and Åbne Scene want to support artists wishing to invite in new perspectives, knowledge and experience to their process from new people, in order to open their artistic universe to other influences. This could be from people with academic knowledge, lived experience or other perspectives that can enrich, challenge or question the artistic development work.

IN PROCESS - Injections is for artists and choreographers who are in the beginning phase of an artistic project and who want to try out an artistic idea or collaboration, who need black box facilities and a professional exchange with people from fields of knowledge they are not yet familiar with.

Åbne Scene and HAUT will begin the dialogue with the curated artistic group at the production meeting, and together they will find two local and relevant conversation partners from Århus. During the residency period, the two local conversation partners will each meet the group for two separate conversation sessions over informal dinners.

CURATION AND THE ORGANISATIONS

CURATION
"IN PROCESS - Injections" is curated by Trine Sørensen, curator for Åbne Scene, and Naja Lee Jensen, Artistic leader of HAUT.

Åbne Scene
Åbne Scene is a workspace for the professional performing arts willing to take risks. A place that makes space for the experiment and the process - where there is the time and the liberty to be curious, to fail and to learn. Åbne Scene facilitates a diverse, curated programme of performing art projects based on a yearly open call, and offers research residencies with great performing art facilities in a black box that’s technically well-equipped. Åbne Scene prioritises projects in the investigative and experimental phase with the purpose of creating material, artistic exchange and new experience or knowledge within its field, and that is in need of a period of time in precisely a black box. See more at aabnescene.dk .

HAUT
HAUT is a performing arts organisation supporting development projects and experiments. Through open calls HAUT offers the residency programme IN PROCESS to self-producing performing artists and choreographers. IN PROCESS has been created to facilitate artistic development and immersion. IN PROCESS finishes with an informal meeting between the art, the artists and the audience, where dialogue, and not judgment, is at the center. Read more about HAUT here, and the publication: HAUT - Artistic development.

"IN PROCESS - Injections" is supported by The Danish Arts Foundation and The Municipality of Copenhagen
