Tremplin residencies
Graduate residencies are designed to support the professional integration of recent ESNAM graduates by enabling them to develop their first professional 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
The call for applications for the 2026/2027 residencies is closed.
Next in March 2027 for the 2027/2028 residencies.
