DancEUA Artist-in-Residence at Vitlycke-CPA.
From 2025 to 2027, Vitlycke-CPA will offer two artistic residencies per year for emerging artists from Ukraine, Sweden, Croatia, Romania and Hungary. Each residency will host up to three dance projects, with one dance artist from Ukraine and two from other partner countries.

In 2026 we offer two artistic residencies:
Spring residency: 18 May – 31 May (2 weeks)
Autumn residency: 26 October – 15 November (3 weeks)

The DancEUA artist in residency program for 2026 provides access to both our small studio and black-box studio, and are ideal for dance artists who are both in the early stages of developing their performances, as well as for performances that are in progress and require a stage for further development. More information about the studio spaces is available here. Limited technical equipment might be available if needed.

The residencies welcome both solo and duet projects and give artists the chance to work with a professional mentor who will support them in developing their artistic creations. The program culminates in a work-in-progress presentation, allowing artists to share their artistic works with the local audience of Tanum.

DancEUA Artist-in-Residence is organized as a part of the dancEUA, a Creative Europe project (2024-2027) created by Studio Contemporary Dance Company – SSP (Croatia), Central Europe Dance Theatre – CEDT (Hungary), M Studio (Romania), Vitlycke – CPA (Sweden) and UA Contemporary Dance Platform (Ukraine) to empower Ukrainian contemporary dance through creativity, connection and resilience. The DancEUA residency program is designed to foster artistic dialogue, support the development of individual projects, and encourage collaboration between artists from Ukraine and the partner countries.
