Post-graduation integration

The Graduate residencies aim to support the professional integration of recent graduates from the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts de la Marionnette – Margareta Niculescu (ESNAM), by helping them develop their first artistic projects.

These residencies are open to ESNAM graduates within three years of receiving their diploma, working in the field of puppetry. The discipline may be approached in all its forms and intersections with other art forms.

The residency is intended to support all stages of the creative process, from writing and dramaturgy to stage research, lighting and sound design, construction, and rehearsals.
