Fuck around and find out
is a two-week residency program organised by Mime fabriek and Boogiebos.
We want to provoke a collaboration between two artists that inspire and challenge each other’s practices into common research.
This residency focuses on that idea you can’t shake—not your masterpiece, but the one that keeps whispering.
We’re not after brilliance; we’re after curiosity.
This open call is inviting mimers/physical theatre/dance performers/makers who are looking forward to share their ideas/inspirations and guide someone into their questions.
This experiment is offered to two types of participants:
*Those with a clear idea to explore
*Those ready to dive into someone else’s process

The residency will take place in two locations:
​
12-18th July 2025: you’ll be working in Belgium, Boogiebos, where you receive a studio, to work and co-habitate in the forest
21-24th July 2025: you’ll be in Amsterdam, where the studio of Mime Fabriek is available for working towards a presentation of your findings
25-26th july: presentations will be held in Mime fabriek.
​
As Boogiebos and Mime fabriek come into collaboration, we want to invite you to be open to unknown collaborations as well.
We take freedom to match two artists based on the application, whilst making sure there is time to connect before the two-week residency begins.
Boogiebos and Mime fabriek are led by independent artists [we are not production houses] and this is our attempt for teasing and creating a playful platform for artistic exchange. We offer you a space and an artistic match, there is no fee available.
