What is the ETC Artists in Residence Programme?

Emerging theatre artists (particularly stage directors and dramaturges) are invited to join us in the seventh edition of the ETC Artists in Residence Programme, offering placements of 4 to 8 weeks at ETC Member Theatres. 

The selected artists will join the creative team of a theatre production process, thus gaining insights into new working methods and discovering the daily routine and structures of a European public theatre. The ETC Artists in Residence Programme is a scholarship that supports international cooperation, fosters new perspectives and professional artistic experience. It does not offer a paid position in the participating theatres.

What does the Artist in Residence Programme offer?

• Residency in one of the participating theatres with mentoring;
• Travel grant from your hometown to the theatre within Europe and countries participating in the EU Programme Creative Europe (up to €300);
• Accommodation during the time of the residency in the city of the theatre;
• Financial contribution to your local expenses (subject to the actual period of stay);
• Participation in the ETC International Theatre Conference in Nova Gorica (Slovenia), April 2024 (including travel, per diems and accommodation).
