RESIDENCY AT POTATOPOTATO
IN MALMÖ, SWEDEN

PotatoPotato Performing Arts, with the support of the City of Malmö, has the great pleasure of welcoming independent artists within experimental theater/performance arts to apply for residency with us, during the autumn of 2022.
By welcoming independent performing artists to use our space and resources, PotatoPotato wants to contribute to the renewal and strengthening of the independent performing arts scene in the Skåne region. The residency will also give Malmö's local audience the opportunity to meet the work of new performing artists.
The focus of the residency is original work and exploration (for example of themes, methods, processes, new teams, materials), which will result in workshops and public screenings.
