Postgraduate Residence Studios and Performance Research Studies (PReS) is an artistic research program that aims at the support of new talents, develops participants’ personal choreographic or dance signature and incubates practice-based research in an international artistic and educational context.

PReS offers a one-year artistic research based on the principles of self-organization, collaboration and rigorous practice as research methodologies. Participants develop an independent artistic research project. In this program, individual work and collective research are linked. The participants follow a daily training class, and have their own daily research residency. They receive regular mentoring and dramaturgical support. Each month, participants follow an intensive week of workshops, seminars and master classes.

PReS Artistic Director 2020/2021 will be Mariella Greil.
