“Sometimes I wish I could just be on a desert island and develop my art.” “A short break from everyday life offers the opportunity for an incomparable focus.”

“Sometimes I wish I could just be on a deserted island and develop my art” … on the North Sea island Baltrum, a group of around 40 people can have experiences every November that are normally only dreamed of.

In a two-week residency, young artists from 6 or more countries bring together various art forms from the fields of music, dance, media and theatre to work on a certain theme. They develop small productions in transnational small groups: A short film, a small performance, an installation, a music clip … they are accompanied by professional artistic coaches and the RRCGN team.

The BK-Heim on Baltrum is a self-catering house: we live, work, cook, eat and wash dishes together here. On the edge of a nature reserve on a car-free, in November also almost deserted island with large, stormy sandy beaches. What is created here is often special … after two weeks on the island, we pack the results into our suitcases, travel back to Cologne with them and present them to the public.
