About the Schloss Bröllin Residency 2027
Schloss Bröllin describes its annual residency program as a central part of its work as a production center for the performing arts. The program primarily serves artists working in dance, performance, and contemporary circus. Current program information states that applicants may arrive with secured third-party funding, a pending funding decision, or without confirmed project financing if they are working in a research or orientation phase. The program page also states that an independent jury selects approximately 12 to 14 ensembles from international applications.
The 2027 call accommodates several stages of artistic development. Groups can use the residency for a new production, further development or revival of an existing project, or research and exploratory work. This flexibility is reinforced by the application form, which asks applicants to identify the project’s thematic or artistic starting point and then describe specifically what they want to work on during the residency, including materials, artistic practices, methods, experiments, and unresolved questions. Applicants must also identify their planned premiere or revival when applicable.

Why The Schloss Bröllin Residency 2027 Matters
This residency is structured around concentrated development time for performing arts groups. The program can support a production already moving toward presentation, a work being revised or resumed, or a research process that has not yet secured full production funding. Schloss Bröllin provides the basic living and working conditions required for a group to remain on site together for up to two weeks. The jury also considers how consequential the residency would be for the specific project or work phase, making the proposed use of time, space, and working conditions central to the application.
