Norway’s  ASSITEJ  announces the open call for residency for performing artists working with Theatre for Young Audiences in Oslo! Application deadline: May 5th 2024.

‍The residency will give an opportunity for performing artists working with TYA to participate in a week-long residency exploring the theme of humanitarian work by artists for young audiences.

ASSITEJ Norway welcomes you to Oslo, Norway from September 30th to October 5th where we will explore humanitarian performances on an individual, collective and societal level. We wish to explore this topic in a personal and artistic sense with the aim to enable artists to discover how they can use their artistic skills in humanitarian aid. During the residency you will partake in workshops providing you with a toolkit and working methods for developing performance within humanitarian aid for children. ASSITEJ Norway also hopes to foster new collaborations across borders and exchange of best practices through this international residency.

All artists in the field of TYA are welcome to apply, regardless of citizenship, but due to budget constraints, we are limited to offer performing artists based in Europe only to apply for this residency.

ASSITEJ Norway will cover travel, accommodation, meals (breakfast included with accomodation, lunch and dinner equivalent of 600 NOK per person per day), and an artist’s fee of 12 000 NOK for the week. We ask that all applicants ensure they meet the visa-requirements for participating in a residency in Norway.

The language of the residency will be in English.
