The ongoing restrictions on face-to-face meetings and international travel pose challenges for the Pina Bausch Fellowship, as it particularly focuses on international exchange and direct contact between grant holders and their cooperation partners. Therefore, the Kunststiftung NRW and the Pina Bausch Foundation have decided to announce a digital fellowship for 2021.

Interested applicants can apply with virtual cooperation formats from 15th of February until 15th of March 2021. Applications based on physical encounters cannot be considered this year, as it is not possible to anticipate the development of the different international restrictions.

The adapted format gives grant holders the opportunity to test how exchange and artistic development can be realized in the digital space. Through virtual exchange with self-selected cooperation partners, they can immerse themselves in intensive artistic processes. The digital format can be designed individually by the applicants and their cooperation partners.

The 2021 fellowship runs from the 1st of June 2021 until the 1st of August 2022. The duration of each of the 2021 virtual fellowships depends on the self-developed format. Unlike in previous years, in 2021, five fellowships are going to be funded with a lump sum of € 5.000 each. Due to the exclusive digital format, no travels will be supported.

The fellowship is promoted internationally and aims at single artists in the fields of dance and choreography. Dancers and choreographers, who meet the personal requirements can apply.

Requirements

For dancers

  • university/academic degree in dance and/or two years professional experience with a renowned ensemble

For choreographers

  • independent creation of at least one production with a public performance in the last three years

There are no age restrictions.

A basic knowledge of English is required. The exchange between fellow grant holders, the project presentation, public relation formats, as well as the general organisation (e.g. e-mail contact etc.) will take place exclusively in English.
