Artist in Residence
Davvi - Centre for Performing Arts is offering professional performing artists the possibility to apply for the Artist in Residency program.
What we support
We accept all project within the contemporary performing art genre. Both laboratory projects as well as nearly finished performances is eligible to apply. In your application it is important to write how a residence at Davvi - Centre for Performing Arts would support and enhance the artistic development of your project.
The duration of the residency is approx. 20 days. There might be possibilities to stay longer. This request would have to be specified in your application. We ask all our artists in residence to make room for an audience viewing or some other form of public presentation during their stay.
Home Residency
Davvi – Centre for Performing Arts also offers ongoing home residencies for artists. Applicants for a home residency must justify the preference for a home residency and have to be living in northern Norway. If applying for home residency one needs to detail their expectations, need for working space and accommodation for project participants in the application. Note that home residencies involve more hosting and organizational responsibilities for the artists than a residency in Hammerfest
The Facilities
During the residency you will have access to our fully equipped dance studio 24-7. The studio measures 16 x 10 x 4 meters. There is a PA, working and stage lights, mirror wall, dance floor, and a large window wall towards the harbour and city centre. The windows and mirrors may be blinded, turning the room into a blackbox.
The studio is situated on the third floor with elevators available in addition to stairs. The whole building is wheelchair accessible with alternative step free access routes to all floors, including to the studio, our office, and the toilet/shower facilities. All main doors are button opened (to the side of the doors in wheelchair reachable height), however internal doors are not. There are some low doorsteps from the elevators to the studios. There is an accessible toilet near the studio equipped with a hoist, toilet chair and a changing bed for adults. In this toilet there is also a baby changing table.
Our residency house is close to the city centre with an approximately five-minute walk from the Arctic Cultural Centre where the studio is located. Within the residency house there are four bedrooms and all modern facilities including free WIFI connection. The house has a beautiful view of the harbour and city centre.
The residency house is not wheelchair accessible as it has steps to enter the house and is situated over two floors with no elevator. The house is located on a hill so if you have mobility problems it might be challenging to get to the house on foot. We have alternative housing in a hotel next to the Arctic Cultural Centre that can accommodate those that have mobility problems or uses a wheelchair.
We know that there would be other access needs artists may have that we have not mentioned above. We encourage artists to reach out to us with access needs and questions if needed.
