When filling in the application pdf form, make sure to respect the character limitations in the boxes. The applications are printed out, information that only appears in the boxes by scrolling down is not on the print and can therefore not be considered.

What do you expect from my artistic statement?

Please describe yourself, your artistic way of working; what does distinguish you as an artist; what are you currently interested in/working on, what drives you? Where are you currently standing in your artistic career, in which direction do you wanna go? Or did you already arrive? Or do you never wanna arrive? 
These are only guidelines; you can arrange your statement in whatever way you consider it suitable for presenting yourself. Please do not write more than 3000 characters (i.e. approx. one page or 500 words). The artistic statement has to be in English.

Who can write a recommendation letter?

Recommendation letters can be written by choreographers or other dance artists you have worked with, teachers or professors who have accompanied you for a certain period or who have experienced you in your way of working. The more these people are familiar with the Scholarship Programme the better they can measure what will be coming up to you, with what you will be confronted. (Former WEBers and artistic mentors usually have the best experience!) The recommendation letters have to be in English and can be addressed to the Artistic Committee of the danceWEB Scholarship Programme.

How many recommendation letters can I attach, in which format and do they have to be originally signed?

In order to give everyone the same conditions in the application process you can attach three recommendations max. Please try to attach them as a PDF files. Normally a recommendation letter covers no more than one page. They don’t have to be originally signed.

How is my scholarship financed?

One scholarship values approximately EUR 6.600,- (depending on the individual choice of research projects, workshops and performances per scholarship holder). EUR 2.250, shall be covered by national/regional funding bodies of your home country/country of residence. danceWEB as non profit association covers the remaining expenses, with the help of funding by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union and Austrian funding bodies (City of Vienna, BMKÖS).

How does it work with finding a financial contribution to my total scholarship expenses?

In case you get selected for the danceWEB Scholarship Programme, you still need to find a financial contribution (EUR 2.250.-) to your total scholarship expenses from local funding bodies in your home country/country of residence in order to secure your participation. danceWEB will assist you in finding financial support. You don’t need to have secured the funding already for the application!
