NAVE - Centro de Creación y Residencia

ARTES VIVAS
INTERNATIONAL CALL 2019

ON THE CALL

In this call, we invite all international artists interested to present creation and research projects within the field of Artes Vivas, whether as individuals, companies, collectives, amongst others.

This call seeks to value creative processes over the production of pieces and support artists who investigate on practices that experiment around the body.

Residencies are the heart that mobilizes NAVE, and we see the artistic research as a space for the production of knowledge and critical thought, for the creation of alternative ways of relation with others and the exchange with surrounding contexts at a social, cultural and political level. Due to the previous, we are interested in projects that experiment with hybrid forms, –beyond its disciplinary frontiers–, which take risks in its practices, production modes and ways to propose its connection with the world.

We want to give support to those new creation and research projects, or that are in a development phase, as well as provide value to the proposals that give value to investigation and not only the production of a final piece. In this new call 2019, we propose two different types of residencies, opening for the second year the chance to carry out technical residencies in our space.

We believe important that the creative and research processes are shared and open in a way, so we expect all proposals for residencies to consider an exchange with the community, through a workshop, opening of processes, encountering situations, talks or any other participation form, with the aim that this action makes sense to each project and generates feedback to it.

Here below we detail the two types of residencies to which you can send your project:

1. Creation and research residency:

Residency aimed to develop creative and investigative processes, regardless of the development phase in which the project is, with an emphasis in the experimentation within working studios.

> Space: White Studio, Studio 1, Studio 2, or Terrace

> Duration: 2 weeks minimum / 1 month maximum

2. Technical residency:

Residence to investigate from a technical point of view with a focus on creation. The objective is to develop technical investigation processes exclusively, with technical equipment and accompaniment. This residency is oriented to artists that are interested in experimenting with the space and technical elements –lighting, sound and image– of the Theatre, and so they can dig deeply in their practices related to performative languages, no matter the development phase in which the project is. To give some examples, they can be research proposals on stage, lighting, sound, visual design, research on scenic devices, among others.

In this residence there will be NO opening of the investigation and a proposal of exchange with the community is not required.

This residence lasts 2 continuous weeks and is divided into 2 stages: a first for research and creation within the studios, which will be a preparation for a second stage in the Theatre, with technical infrastructure and support from the technical team of NAVE.

First week:

> Space: White Studio, Studio 1, Studio 2, or Terrace

> Duration: 1 week

Second week:

> Space: Theatre

> Duration: 5 following days

This call is to program residencies between April 2019 and January 2020.
