Arts Centre BUDA uses its YES team, know-how and infrastructure to support creations in the performing arts. We host an average of about 70 residencies a year – from full technical residencies in the theatres at Budascoop to studio work or research residencies in Budatoren.
Are you looking for a rehearsal studio? Or would you like to work in a corporation, a school, or the public space? You would prefer a content residency to dive deeper into content related research? Or would like to discuss the possibility of a publishing residency? You want to come and work on the conditions of art production? Or focus on the documentation of previous pieces? We are happy to discuss your question and evaluate together with you if BUDA could help you realise this proposal.
The basic conditions BUDA provides to all residencies are: the use of the studio, accommodation for the team, lunches during week days.

RESIDENCY HOUSES
There are two residence houses with shared kitchen and bathrooms. Lodging in residence houses is a part of the residency, and often decisive argument in setting the residency calendar: we want to make the best use of available opportunities.
LUNCH
Each afternoon we provide a free vegetarian lunch for residents. It usually consists of soup with bread and spread.

SHOWINGS & COMPANEROS
Arts centre BUDA has gained experience in hosting showings of work in progress, genuine dress rehearsals or avant-premières. These (informal) showings are a “tool” we offer, and therefore not mandatory. The artist determines OR and HOW something is presented as a function of the creative process.
The “compañeros” are BUDA’s test audience: a group of non-professional spectators who have since become practiced at giving feedback after showings. The artist decides what type of discussion will follow; an informal chat at the bar, a classic Q&A (whether or not based on predetermined questions) or a structured DAS Arts feedback session.
