Burdąg Foundation Supports research, production and educational projects in new and contemporary dance, performance and interdisciplinary arts. We want to create a space for meeting, artistic exchange and sharing.
That’s why we have created the art in residency house – Burdag. It is a private initiative. We built it with out private funds. We are artists ourselves and we want to provide more space for independent arts. We hope that Burdąg will enrich not only its guests but also the community living in this region.
