We are reserving one of the spots for artists who are still in, or whom has recently graduated from their education. ​

Thematically we are interested in Human/Nature. Dans i Blekinge want artists, through the residency, to ask questions and create dialogue between the place and people. The theme of the residency is a starting point, we are interested in your concepts and ideas. The participating artists are invited to work freely with the theme. Dans i Blekinge would like to see the artists interested in experimental approaches, interdisciplinary work and social practice with the dance as a central starting point. This year we collaborate with Land404, an artist's residency that runs parallel, which opens up for interesting opportunities and cooperation. Please visit their website for more information on them and the Land404-residency.​
