In the context of Dance Research NRW the NRW KULTURsekretariat is offering again a grant for several months with the purpose of pursuing research on dance subjects in co-operation with persons, institutions and
communities in North Rhine- Westphalia (Germany). The host city for the
current fifth period is Bonn with its cultural centre Brotfabrik.

This offer is aimed at performing artists in the area of dance,
performance and choreography. Single persons or two persons working
together with good knowledge in either German or English may apply.

Offer:
Free accomodation will be made available, as well as personal support
both locally and throughout the Land by the KULTURsekretariat.
Furthermore up to € 7,500 at maximum will be allocated. At the end of
the grant period the candidates will make a public presentation of the
