RedSapata Cultural Initiative and Network for Contemporary Dance (Linz, Austria) is launching its new residency program.

We are offering a maximum of two residencies at the same time to artists from Europe and around. The residency includes rehearsal space and accomodation in a single apartment. We have two dance studios (70 m2 and 90 m2) whereas one is also being a performance space and will be used for the final performance of the outcome of the two projects.
