Ja ja jeg ved det, deadlines all over – det er en besværlig branche vi lever i. Jeg misser også mine deadlines.
Jeg lancerede i november et residency call til det nye Island Connect projekt. Et samarbejde jeg er helt vild med, hvor vi udvikler gode programmer for scenekunstnere sammen med C.IN.E centret på Mallorca og Domino i Kroatien – og der var deadline 3/1. Tænk en idiotisk dato – den var der ingen der huskede – og jeg havde også haft for travlt til at lave en reminder. Desuden havde Mallorca skudt deres deadline – Såååå det gør vi da også bare.
NY DEADLINE FOR RESIDENCY CALL ER 15/1 MIDNAT!
Og I denne omgang er det kun Mallorca residencyet, vi har deadline på. Kroatien følger senere.
Jeg kan kun sige at Marta og Biel, der driver centret på Mallorca er skønne mennesker, der har et kæmpe netværk i Spanien indenfor ny cirkus og fysisk teater – og ja BIRCA, det siger jo sig selv. Kom da bare på besøg. Jeg glæder mig til at få selskab derover i den fredfyldte natur.
Læs mere om detaljerne nedenfor – og lad være med at bruge oceaner af tid på fine skrifter – send et par ærlige linjer, det holder vi af – dog skal de være på engelsk, så Mallorca kan læse dem (da det er dem der beslutter hvem der skal have chancen).
