Cristina Giurgea receives annual scholarship from the Province of Salzburg
Cristina Giurgea, alumna of the Master's programme in Applied Theatre at the Mozarteum University’s Thomas Bernhard Institute, has received a €12,000 grant – awarded annually by the State of Salzburg in the field of Performing Arts – to support her work at the intersection of research theatre and performance art in Salzburg. Congratulations!
The grant gives Cristina Giurgea the opportunity to continue developing the research she began as part of her final project for her master's degree in Applied Theatre for her work ‘Made in Austria. Salzburg Edition’ with and for communities. The most recent work on furthering her master's project took place during a residency at the TNT Festival in Romania.
Titled ‘What is a city if not its people?’, the project to be funded by the grant will focus on working with and for Sinti and Roma people. In this way, relevant voices and stories within the urban community—often marginalised and made invisible—will gain visibility, both among those creating the work and those engaging with it.
We wish Cristina all the best for her exciting and extremely worthwhile project and warmly congratulate her on winning this prestigious grant!
