Jazz
In addition to the annual Reset residency, neimënster hosts occasional residencies dedicated to jazz.
Period, duration of the residency and working time
The residency is established over a maximum period of 3 weeks without requiring a continuous presence. However, a presence plan must be drawn up before entering the residency. Any change in date or duration must be agreed upon between the artists and neimënster.
There are no nationality requirements, but the artists are solely responsible for the administrative formalities required to reside and work in Luxembourg.
Human resources, material and financial conditions
neimënster commits to designate a contact person, assigned to the smooth running of the residency.
The know-how of the neimënster team is specified in the residency contract.
These residencies include the provision of individual accommodation, workspaces, and a performance room equipped with sound and light (technical data available on request) as well as a creation allowance established after studying the application file.
Residents can be accompanied, upon request. Baby cots are also available. Pets are not allowed in the building and smoking is not allowed on the premises.
Travel from home to the residence, intramural travel and meals are at the expense of the artists.
