Dance residency at TATWERK and in Hasenheide
The UNKNOWN GEOGRAPHIES residency programme focuses on somatic and choreographic practices in conversation with public space and nature, that link urban ecology with post-human insights and inclusive concepts of agency.
The residency will hold Volkspark Hasenheide and TATWERK’s studio as the working locations, allowing the physical dimensions of urban space to be explored in depth.
Depending on their practice and interests, artists can focus on different aspects within the ‘unknown geographies‘. Artists should explore any aspect of the park that calls them and incorporate the local context, and can further deepen and consolidate established practices or find the space to explore new practices.
