Wat zoeken we

For this research, we are looking for makers who are engaged in “living technology & performance” and want to focus their own research question in it.

Cross-TIC seeks project proposals in all art disciplines: film, theater, visual arts, music (and others) from artists and creatives living and/or working in Twente, who want to develop their work and realize a cross-media production. Cross-TIC is looking for proposals that offer a convincing artistic quality, are explicitly cross-media, and centre on research, experimentation and collaboration.

Your research will start no later than December 2023.

Wat vragen we
  • A description of your concept for this research and how the project relates to “living technology & performance
  • An elaboration of the approach and planning of your research. Also indicate who is contributing to your research and why.
  • A description of the expertise you still lack (technical, artistic, conceptual, etc.)
  • Why you want to conduct this research, what the reason and urgency is for you, and what step you want to take as an artist.
Wat bieden we

As a maker or maker team in a research project, you get 216 hours to work on your own proposal.

As an example, if you work in a team of 2, you divide the 216 hours between you, for example, 108 hours each.

Een onderzoek bij Podium bestaat uit
  • A place to bring your plan to fruition and present it;
  • A fee of €36.75 per hour (ex. VAT);
  • guidance from the Podium profile coordinator
  • Participation in a maker day (6 – 8 hours);
  • Up to 2 presentations on your research to partners and stakeholders;
  • external expertise: a budget to call in external expertise (in consultation with the profile coordinator) in your desired field;

About Cross-TIC
Cross-TIC is a multi-year project taking place throughout Twente that aims to give artists living and/or working in Twente the opportunity to develop innovative cross-media art projects. The projects can take place at different art institutions and can be short, medium or long. During a trajectory, an artist is encouraged to experiment, conduct research, enter into new collaborations and develop himself further in the business field as well. The outcomes are made visible at cultural institutions (libraries, culture houses, film houses, theaters and museums), at festivals or at the creative incubators in the region. Cross-TIC will take place until at least the end of 2024, and consists of a total of 33 development paths

Colophon

Cross-TIC was developed by the Twente Culture Region: 14 Twente municipalities working together in the field of culture. In consultation with the cultural field, they developed a vision for culture in the region. Based on that vision, Cross-TIC was set up by Library Almelo & Theater Hof 88, Kunsten op Straat, Oyfo, PLANETART, Schouwburg Hengelo, Theater Sonnevanck, Stichting Oldenzaalse Musea, Tetem and Concordia (penman).
