WHO THE RESIDENCY IS FOR

 

The open call is addressed to:

 

– Music-theatre makers developing staged, spatial, performative, participatory, or installation-based projects

– Composers and performers investigating expanded relations among sound, action, embodiment, notation, and theatrical form

– Directors and dramaturgs examining composition, temporality, spectatorship, narrative, framing, and modes of presence

– Designers working with scenography, space, light, image, objects, costume, interfaces, media, or technical systems

– Interdisciplinary ensembles developing collaborative methods across musical, theatrical, choreographic, visual, digital, and research practices

 

Institutional affiliation is not required. Established and emerging applicants may work within theatres, festivals, universities, production organizations, independent practice, artistic research, or hybrid contexts. Individuals and ensembles may apply.

 

Projects may enter the residency at different stages of development. Applicants may propose an initial concept, a work in progress, an existing project requiring substantial transformation, a score, script, staging system, scenographic proposition, technological prototype, performance laboratory, installation, or collaborative framework. The work should be sufficiently defined to support substantive discussion while remaining open to revision through experimentation.

 

Participants should be prepared to:

 

– Present and contextualize their artistic, technical, dramaturgical, or collaborative practice

– Share scores, scripts, sketches, recordings, diagrams, prototypes, and other relevant working materials

– Engage closely and constructively with the work of other participants

– Offer and receive precise artistic, dramaturgical, technical, and methodological feedback

– Discuss compositional, performative, spatial, institutional, political, and ethical questions

– Participate in collective analysis, testing, rehearsal, documentation, revision, and reflection

– Remain responsive to the transformation of projects through sustained exchange

– Contribute to a shared working environment grounded in attentiveness, reciprocity, experimentation, and professional responsibility

 

The program is particularly suited to applicants who understand collaboration not merely as a means of production, but as a mode of inquiry capable of transforming artistic methods, relations, and outcomes.
