AfroPolitan Berlin Performance-Panorama
Workshop-/Residency-Programme for (emerging) professional Black and Afrodiasporic* performing artists (active) in Berlin, providing a platform to explore and develop performance works & concepts.
It will continue in 2023! Further info to follow in spring.
WHAT?
The AfroPolitan Berlin – Performance-Panorama offers performing artists an opportunity to develop themselves in protected, intersectional environments. It offers exchange and expansion of knowledge, networking and visibility among each other as well as across the board, resources and both financial and content-related support. Performing artists can develop autonomously, explore their own aesthetics, sharpen their perspectives, test methods and present insights into their work. The Performance Panorama consciously opens up spaces free from the paternalism of the dominant society and beyond established (structural) power and discrimination. Artistically directed and accompanied by Tessa Hart, supported by further Black artists & experts.
FOR WHOM?
- For Black and Afrodiasporic* artists (active) in Berlin in the field of performing arts (also cross-disciplinary).
- For (aspiring) professional solo artists or collectives.
- Particularly suitable for new collectives and emerging artists.
- Collectives can consist of a maximum of 5 artists.
- Collectives that are only partly made up of Black artists may also apply; the prerequisite is that the Black artists act in (co-)decision-making positions and that in these collectives even more so everyone reflects on their own privileges, positionings and unconcious biases in the collaborations. There will be overarching group meetings only open to the Black/Afrodiasporic participants.
HOW?
- Support for independent further development processes
- Provision of rehearsal rooms / premises (one week in total between June and August, individually coordinated dates)
- Dramaturgical & organisational support (although no complete dramaturgy or production management)
- Mentoring-Session with Black/Afrodiasporic mentors from the (Berlin) performance/cultural scene
- Exchange with the other supported artists
- Work-In-Progress-Showcase at Forum Brasil in Kreuzberg on 15 & 16 September 2023 (availability required)
- Image & documentation material / marketing support
- Remuneration for development processes and showcase
