K3 | Tanzplan Hamburg provides three paid eight-month residencies to choreographers who are at the beginning of their career and have produced multiple choreographic works of their own. The residency begins in August 2027 and runs until April 2028. It includes a scholarship, the use of the k3 studios, a production budget, as well as dramaturgical, technical, and production related support. Over the course of the residency, the three choreographers research their own projects and develop a full-length piece that is presented in Hamburg. The goal of the residency is to develop and strengthen the connections between choreographic practice, research, artistic production, and qualification. The duration of eight months should provide sufficient time and space for overcoming conventional rhythms of production and open up opportunities for exchange with other artists.
