The residency | ZemmourBallet

An artistic residency is a scheme to support the creation and dissemination of artistic projects. The aim is to provide professional artists with a space in which to work and create, enabling them to develop their projects in the best possible conditions: Artistic support (20h) consists of assistance with the creation and realization of an artistic project. This can take the form of advice, contacts with industry professionals, constructive criticism, etc. Administrative support (20h) aims to help artists manage the administrative aspects of their project, such as writing dossiers, managing budgets, etc. Subsidy support (10h) consists of help in finding and applying for subsidies from various organizations to finance the artistic project. Studio space (unlimited during the residency) is a work space dedicated to creation and training for artists. A production studio (maximum 1 week) gives artists a space dedicated to the realization of their project, with the necessary equipment (lights, sound, etc.). The bursary is a financial aid designed to support artists in their creation and dissemination projects. Residency in partnership with CASJB
