House in the Neighborhood

Basic information

House in the Neighborhood is a residency program dedicated to performative art projects created in collaboration with the local community and specifically designed or adapted for public spaces in Libeň and the surrounding area. This year’s call for proposals focuses on projects working with the 55+ age group. 

Although Studio ALTA is reopening its own theater, we want to continue supporting art in public spaces and strengthening our relationship with the Libeň neighborhood. We are looking for projects that view public space as a meeting place and that actively involve the local community in their creative process or the final form of the work.

Both projects already in progress and those just getting started are eligible to apply. The residency is intended for one selected project. A condition of the residency is the presentation of a public performance – either a premiere or a work-in-progress – in a public space at the conclusion of the residency. Upon agreement, the selected project may also be included in Studio ALTA’s year-round program.

THE RESIDENCY PROGRAM INCLUDES: 

  • artist fee of  30,000 CZK per project
  • facilities for creative work: a rehearsal space and indoor facilities at Studio ALTA or facilities provided by local organizations as needed for the residency; however, given the nature of the residency, we primarily provide outdoor spaces
  • dramaturgical support from the team during project development
  • production support and consultation throughout the residency (this does not constitute full-scale production management of the entire project)
  • opportunities to collaborate with Studio ALTA’s partner organizations
  • technical consultation (this does not include a lighting or sound designer dedicated exclusively to your project) 
  • PR consultation (including promotion of the project on our social media channels)
  • 7 days of intensive production and technical support during the final phase of the project, including access to Studio ALTA’s technical equipment
