2023 residencies call-out results

As we received around 250 proposals for the Antic Teatre residencies, the selection process has been a real challenge. The wide range of proposals and the unique and interesting characteristics of each one, the stage each process was at and the parameters that define theatre meant our curatorship unfolded under intense discussion.

The Cascades curatorship team is grateful for all the participants’ work and for how their dedication and honesty has contributed to the enrichment of live arts. It’s been extremely gratifying to view the panorama that you’re creating between you. We see edginess, commitment, new areas of interest, risk. We feel fortunate in having seen your work.

The companies finally chosen are: Luiz Felipe Lucas with his piece “No estamos ahí o la presencia de la ausencia”; Malén Iturri with “Crura”; Carlota Grau Bagès with “Tsunami or something’s gonna happen tonight” and PORNOTOPIAcollective with “g0-g0”. Many thanks to all of you for your dedication in this call-out. Many thanks to Antic Teatre for making it possible.

ANTIC TEATRE OPENS THE 1ST CALL FOR ARTISTIC CREATION AND PRODUCTION RESIDENCIES IN 2023

THE SELECTION OF PROPOSALS WILL BE CURATED BY STUDY GROUP CASCADES

Antic Teatre is opening a public call to offer four artistic creation and production residencies over four different periods in 2023.

The objective of the call is to provide coproduction support to projects by artists/collectives whose work is based on experimentation and research in the field of contemporary performance arts.

Each residency will take place over a period of two weeks, with four presentations in the theatre at the end of the second week (Thursday through Sunday) as part of Antic Teatre’s general programme.

We’re looking for local, national or international proposals that fit the specifications.

CASCADES is a self-managed, interdisciplinary study group whose aim is to activate thinking by means of mixed practices relating to the body in an intergenerational context. For more information: www.cascadesprojecte.org

CONDITIONS OF THE CALL

 

This call is directed at projects in the final stages of development, i.e. projects that have not yet premiered or that are already touring but where a new approach to staging is being contemplated through an artistic residency.

The selected proposals may be premiered at Antic Teatre or not, but in any case, the four public performances will be included in the theatre’s programme.

All proposals must adapt to Antic Teatre’s technical sheet. The technical sheet can be consulted at the following link: Antic Teatre technical sheet.

Any proposals that are music-based or include a substantial element of sound will need to adapt their levels to 87db, which is the legal maximum. Sound checks, if necessary, can take place for a maximum of 4 hours a day.

We’re looking for local, national or international proposals that agree with local artistic creation specifications.
