For whom?
Workspace circus arts PERPLX supports artists who are at the beginning of their creative career and want to create an indoor performance (hall, tent or indoor locations).
PERPLX refers to young makers as emerging, not age-related. Which means that both recent graduates and new makers are welcome.
With these makers, a long-term, tailor-made process is developed, until structural applications are made.
Feel free to contact the artistic coordinator if you are unsure whether you are eligible.
What is possible?
-
Labs where experimentation or research can be carried out, without concrete end result
-

-
Co-production budget
-

Note: A co-production without residency is not possible at PERPLX. PERPLX wants to build a personal relationship with the artists.
How to apply?
PERPLX explicitly chooses not to work with open calls. Sending a description of the project – whether or not in file form – to the artistic coordinator or addressing the general and/or artistic coordinator is sufficient. After that, a more in-depth conversation is planned to see whether a collaboration is possible for both parties.
Presentation moments
PERPLX offers presentation platforms to both the young, fledgling work and the more established work.
PERPLX organizes meaningful and/or interesting (reference) performances throughout the cultural season, preferably co-produced by PERPLX and at the beginning of their play series under the heading SOIREE PERPLX.
VITRINE PERPLX guarantees fresh work by young makers who have co-produced and resided at PERPLX. In short, the VITRINE is a showcase of new work and shows the trends of tomorrow.
