HELLERAU is part of the European residency programme “Moving Identities”, with a focus on diversity in the performing arts. Moving Identities is funded by the EU programme "Creative Europe".

"Moving Identities" is a three-year exchange programme (2023-2026) for performing artists in seven European countries.

How Moving Identitites works

The aim of Moving Identities is to strengthen international networks and the visibility of underrepresented and marginalized artists through international residencies. Moving Identities also facilitates exchange between the partners and ensures that they develop tools to support diverse artists and themes. Each year, a group of artists is selected in each country. Each group receives three residencies over the course of the year: one in their country of residence and two internationally as part of the project. This gives them the opportunity to develop their creative practice. The artists also meet online to network and receive mentoring.

Moving Identities explores how the performing arts can connect us and contribute to a fairer and more collaborative Europe.
