Residency
For the time being, travel is severely restricted due to the corona pandemic. As a result, not only have nearly all live performances been cancelled, but so have most physical residencies for artists and co-productions. Reacting to the changes in working conditions in the music scene, the Goethe-Institut has created this virtual residency programme to maintain and reinforce international exchange and collaboration. Funding for virtual partner residencies is now available to initiate international musical collaboration projects.Virtual partner residencies may support working on e.g. joint research, compositions, concept and project development, pre-productions or innovative online projects. Other formats, including Interdisciplinary, music-centered may also be eligible for funding. The focus must be on artistic collaboration and extensive exchange on a partnership basis.
