CALL FOR APPLICATION: EXCHANGE PROGRAMME WITH CCOV
K3 | Tanzplan Hamburg and Centre de Création O Vertigo – CCOV in Montréal are offering an International Residency Exchange. From June until November, two choreographers (one from Quebec and one from Hamburg) will shadow each other by engaging in feedback & dialogue as each pursues an individual creative project. A series of online encounters scheduled early in the process will serve to determine common areas of interest and lay a foundation of trust for the program’s duration. The Quebec choreographer will spend up to four weeks in Hamburg (August 2025), and the German choreographer will spend four weeks in Montreal (between September and November). The host organizations will support the choreographers by helping coordinate a variety of activities that respond to their individual interests. This could take the form of workshops, sharing sessions and networking activities.
K3 is looking for a choreographer to take part in this exchange. Eligible participants will be residents of Hamburg or work in Hamburg as choreographers. The CCOV and K3 are interested in offering this residency to independent, professional choreographers. The successful candidate will present an individual research project while explaining their interest & motivation to engage in the exchange of ideas with a peer from Canada.
Details of the exchange:
- June and July 2025: A series of about two to four online meetings to introduce all participants, identify common interests, and determine schedules.
- August 2025 (up to 4 weeks): Quebec choreographer travels to Hamburg. Studio and housing will be provided by K3.
- Autumn 2025 (4 weeks): German choreographer travels to Montreal for up to four weeks between September and November – exact dates will be defined in consultation with the chosen choreographer and the availabilities at CCOV. Please name possible time frames in the application. Studio and housing will be provided by CCOV.
- December 2025: review meeting (online) with all participants to evaluate results.
Note – Peer-to-peer exchange is a key element of this program. While in-person and online meetings will be encouraged whenever possible, we are interested to explore different forms of communication that lead to practice-sharing and constructive feedback. These ideas will be developed in concert with the interests and availability of all participants.
Financial details:
K3 will provide round trip travel from Hamburg to Montreal and will provide the choreographer with a scholarship of 600,- Euro per week of the stay in Canada.
