Artist At Resort - Residence Project

deutsch>>>

AAR since 2008
T*H has been building up its broad production resources over many years inviting young artistically associated performers into the exciting and interesting context of Tanz*Hotel | Resort 1020. AAR is a Residence/Coaching/Mentoring-Project for Contemporary Dance initiated by Artistic Director Choreographer Bert Gstettner. He sees his responsibility in suporting the young participants into shared processes and strategies of creation. The focus is on developing new material. The residence period at AAR is accompanied by lectures, Jour Fixe, dramaturgical discourse as well as rehearsal and performance coachings.  

 From 2008 to 2019 over 50 diverse artists and their showings have been co-produced within 16 Terms. Some of the participants reached groundbreaking results, others took the opportunity to stop by on their journey of research. For the upcoming residences from 2020/21 onwards Bert Gstettner wants to introduce new options and formats to meet the various needs of the participants and their current processes of creation. Flexibility and continuity as well as the juxtaposition of different residence formats should stimulate exciting forward-looking results.

 Gradually, from 2020 onwards three variations of Artist At Resort Projects will be introduced, called for and combined: The well established saisonal residences lasting up three months will be complemented within a year by a long-term ALL-YEAR-Residence and shortly called for and hosted MINI-Residences. Here are the details:
