Open Call: ASSITEJ Next Generation Programme 2022
Deadline: 10 November 2021 (ny deadline)
Helsingborg, Sweden
17 – 22 May 2022
The Next Generation (NG) residency programme is an ASSITEJ initiative, designed to support artistic and cultural exchange and collaboration between international artists aged 36 years or below, interested in theatre for young audiences, at ASSITEJ events.
ASSITEJ Sweden and the Bibu Biennial invites 16 artists, critics, producers, researchers, from around the world to attend the Next Generation program at Bibu 17 – 22 May 2022.
For the 2022 Next Generation Residency we will work with ”Placemaking” as a theme.
Placemaking is a multi-faceted approach to the planning, design and management of public spaces. Placemaking capitalizes on a local community’s assets, inspiration, and potential, with the intention of creating public spaces that promote people’s health, happiness, and well-being. We want to turn the residency into a research project, of what this can mean to and how it relates to our work within performing arts for children and youth.
