HARVEST KOMAŘICE
LEAD ORGANIZATION: REZI.DANCE Komařice

What is it?
REZI.DANCE is the first artist residence house focused on live art in the Czech Republic. It does not seek to be a theatre or cultural center – its main mission is to be a space for artistic research, experimentation and exploration, without pressure for specific outputs or final results.
As a process-oriented residency, REZI.DANCE offers a flexible residency structure that responds to the individual needs of each artist and supports spontaneity and authenticity in the creative process. We strive to create a safe and stimulating environment where all forms of art, intellectual and creative activities, and diverse approaches to artistic and aesthetic exploration have their place.
REZI.DANCE operates at the intersection of liberal arts and the creative industry. It is open not only to individual artists and art collectives, but also to cultural managers and entire production teams.
Why is the HARVEST KOMAŘICE project part of Budweis 2028?
The Harvest Komařice project is part of Budweis 2028 because its concept perfectly embodies the values and goals of the ECoC – it connects art with place, community, and sustainability, and brings a European dimension through site-specific work created as part of the international residency program A-I-R.

Harvest:
🌾Enlivens the landscape and public space through contemporary art and involves both local residents and international artists in cultural events;
🌾Experiments with new forms of audience participation, blurring the boundaries between audience and performer;
🌾Minimizes its ecological footprint and emphasizes sustainability – key principles of Budweis 2028;
🌾Contributes to the decentralization of culture by bringing cutting-edge art outside major centers and highlighting the unique landscape and cultural environment of the South Bohemian countryside.
Harvest 2025: Art as Part of the Landscape
Harvest 2025 is a festival (already held) of contemporary physical arts that grows out of the landscape of South Bohemia – both literally and figuratively. It was created out of a need to share what sprouted in the REZI.DANCE residential space in Komařice between 2022 and 2025. And it was precisely this place, its history, atmosphere, and surrounding nature that were an integral part of each of this year's festival works.
Since 2023, Sklizeň has taken on a new form – it lasts six weeks and offers viewers time and space for repeated, sensory-rich and intimate experiences. Each visit to the landscape brings a new image. A different story. A different encounter. The festival features installations in the landscape, guided walks, creative workshops and physical performances set directly in specific locations.
