A Turma is looking for a playwright or a theatre maker, for the development of an artist residency with the duration of two months (consecutively), in Porto - Portugal. We are able to accept a playwright, a performer or a visual artist as the project is related with the research for a new dramaturgy or theatrical creation. At the end of the residency period there must be an informal presentation of the developed work. We also invite the artist to develop a workshop for local young actors and/or theatre makers to share and exchange the methodologies of the work.
The initiative InResidence, in partnership with Porto City Council, aims to bring international artists closer to opportunities to develop residence projects in the city in multiple artistic fields. The artist must be from another country, and the grant is different for European artists (5000€) and Intercontinental artists (6000€). This grant is managed by A Turma in articulation with the artist(s) and includes: artist's payment, travel, creation materials, technical support and other logistic expenses. This grant is aimed at individual artists or companies, although the accommodation provided is a one-bedroom apartment. Other logistic expenses must be covered by the artist/company, included in the grant.
