This Individual Mentorship Residency is open to artists from all disciplines — performance, movement, visual arts, writing, and hybrid practices — who are developing a solo artistic practice or solo project, regardless of theme, medium, or aesthetic approach.
The residency can host up to two artists at the same time, while maintaining a fully individual and non-collective framework. Each artist follows their own schedule, receives individual consultations, and is accompanied through a process designed specifically for their project. There is no shared curriculum, no group mentoring, and no imposed collective dynamic.
Each residency is co-designed in advance in direct coordination with the artist. Together, we identify the needs of the project — whether conceptual, formal, dramaturgical, technical, or contextual — and build a mentorship structure accordingly. Artists are not matched with a fixed mentor, but are connected to the people most relevant to their work at that moment.
Mentorship may take different forms depending on the project:
All consultations are individual, confidential, and purposefully curated. The residency functions as a bespoke support system, adapting to the specific questions and rhythm of each artist.
Alongside 3 individual consultations, the residency offers:
The aim of the residency is to support focus, clarity, and development. Artists leave with a clearer articulation of their work, strengthened tools and references, and a solo work-in-progress ready to continue evolving beyond the residency.

who is this for
This Individual Mentorship Residency is for artists from all disciplines — performance, movement, visual arts, writing, sound, and hybrid practices — who are developing a solo project and are looking for a residency format that is precisely adapted to their needs.
Before the residency begins, we engage in direct dialogue to understand what your project needs at this stage. Based on this exchange, the residency is carefully designed with you: the type of mentorship, the people you meet, the rhythm of the consultations, and the balance between autonomous work and dialogue are all adapted to your process.
This means you do not meet a predefined mentor or follow a fixed program. You meet the right people, for the right reasons, at the right moment for your work.
This residency may be especially relevant if

how to apply?
where
During the residency, artists live and work in the Ádám Anna Studio — a shared 120m² home-studio in Budapest, with a garden, two rehearsal spaces. There are no programmed community events or group activities during the residency — instead, you receive time, space, and a supportive context in which to focus, reflect, and create at your rhythm, while benefiting from occasional conversations, shared meals, and spontaneous exchanges that naturally emerge from proximity and co-habitation.
