HAUT's residency program is aimed at performing artists based in Denmark, Kalaallit Nunaat, and Föroyar. We invite all artists working within the expanded fields of choreography, dance, and performance to apply with their somatic, performative, and scenic explorations. We center body- and movement-based artistic practices.

‍

This residency opportunity is not intended for students.

HAUT has workspaces at Thoravej 29 in Copenhagen NV, where there is barrier-free access to the Black Box in the basement and to the Studio on the ground floor. Elevators provide access to the other floors. HAUT's team is located on the second floor, where we are available to our visiting artists and can assist with printer access, meeting rooms, etc.

‍

HAUT is part of the Laboratory for Performing Arts at Thoravej 29, which can facilitate contact with a larger community of artistic platforms, interest groups, and companies.

‍

The library at Thoravej 29 is open to everyone in residency and contains a wide selection of publications contributed by the organizations housed in the building. HAUT has also contributed with a selection of publications – both our own releases and publications that have been recommended to us. The selection is continuously expanded based on suggestions from artists and collaborators.

At Thoravej 29, lunch is served in the canteen on weekdays.

HAUT is committed to paying fair wages to stimulate a sustainable artist-life. Our daily fees of DKK 1,500 include holiday pay and pension, which means that we pay DKK 9,375 per person for a week in residency. We offer a limited budget for travel expenses and accommodation, among other things, and we also have experience providing financial support for childcare.

‍

HAUT works systematically with care riders in our contact with artists and in the planning of residencies to clarify whether there is a need for other or different care structures.

HAUT is a practice community for more courageous and sustainable performing arts. Our team consists of performing artists who are present in and around the residencies to offer sparring and feedback. In addition, HAUT's artistic leader offers studio visits during a residency, which can be used to read a text together, contextualize the research, or just hang out.

‍

HAUT offers approx. 12 hours of technician time per week in our black box, and there is also a limited materials budget for, e.g., purchasing a book, experimenting with scenographic elements, or renting technical equipment.

‍

At HAUT, we believe that a worksharing or an open studio can bring more perspectives to the artistic development work, and we see feedback as a method of caring for the artistic practice. Therefore, HAUT's artistic leader often facilitates various feedback exercises after each worksharing to provide the artistic work material/information for the further process. Our feedback is based on the book A Queer Feedback Handbook: Experiments in Otherwise Arts Education.
