Exchange residency „DANCE +„
An artistic residence between two dance artists from Lithuania and Sweden, one from each country. The aim of the exchange residency is to explore the limits of movement beyond the normative canons of the stage and combine dance with unexpected activities/hobbies/occupations. “Dance +” is a connection between contemporary dance and the artist's chosen activity - swimming, bread baking, knitting, or anything that is interesting and is relevant to the dance artist as a person. Another important element of this residency is creative and human resources exchanges between Swedish and Lithuanian artists. The residency will consist of two periods: Spending one week in Vilnius, Lithuania, working in Art printing house dance studio, and one week in Gothenburg, Sweden, in the Spinn studio at Järntorget.
