ARTISTS IN RESIDENCE

We would like to offer our resources in the special surroundings of Stolzenhagen as a support to local and international artists and explorers. Since 2000, the Ponderosa TanzLand Festival has invited special guests and groups to do research, teach, perform and create work as part of the summer dance festival.

We are currently focused on developing a collaborative exchange with our Polish neighbors, and continue to extend this invitation to Berlin's sister city, San Francisco. We hope to accommodate as many guests and groups as possible, with a vision of offering housing, performance opportunities, studio space and publicity in our festival brochure.

Ponderosa TanzLand Festival is still relatively new, with 2012 marking the 11th year. We are open to becoming partners in european programmes.

In case you are interested in working with us creatively or in the organisation over a longer time span here are some suggestions to get a funding from other institutions:
