We are at Work

06.—07.02.2026

Residencies permit artists to work on the unexpected, they support process and initiate synergy and partnership. The Fonds Darstellende Künste (Performing Arts Fund) Residency Grant, in cooperation with the Alliance of International Production Houses, enabled 21 artists and collectives to attempt new concepts in practice. Now all participants have been invited to Düsseldorf for reflection and exchange. Work processes and perspectives will be discussed and reflected upon over two days at both FFT Düsseldorf and tanzhaus nrw – during workshops, talks, and an artistically framed dinner. Interested expert audiences are cordially invited. Please find information on registering online soon.

Venues: FFT & tanzhaus nrw
