CALL FOR DANCERS
CONCEPT FOUNDATION
NO SLEEP TILL LEOPOLDSTADT was founded by two individuals who believed the partnership between the two cities should be supported. The association aims to promote the Leopoldstadt-Brooklyn district partnership that was founded in 2007.
The focus is divided into four pillars: art, culture, concerts and culinary. The goal is to offer an interdisciplinary range of art and culture with artists and interesting personalities from the two cities for the two cities. Reinforce the synergy to produce a sustainable cultural network.
DESCRIPTION
The artist in Residence Programme is the pilot project of NO SLEEP TILL LEOPOLDSTADT. The program aims to intensify cooperation between artists, curators, educators and managers of culture and other professionals from the world of arts and science.
NO SLEEP TILL LEOPOLDSTADT liaises with local organisations in creating conditions for creative collaboration, exchange of ideas and opportunity to share skills both through formal education – organised lectures, seminars, workshops as well as via less formal activities – assisting residents in establishing contacts with local representatives of the world of art and science, and offering direct cultural experience of the place and culture.
