IDRA Teatro has been selected as one of the host centres as part of the Culture Moves Europe 2027 programme.
IDRA’s residency is titled Residences of Change – Harnessing the Transformative Power of the Creative Practice and is open to European artists, collectives, and companies working with or interested in exploring participatory practices and arts’ social impact.
It is scheduled over a 31-day period across January and February 2027, and is designed with a working group of five residents in mind.
Applications are now open: we welcome submissions from artists legally residing in any of the 40 Creative Europe countries. As per the programme guidelines, applications from artists residing in the host’s own country will not be considered. This means that we won’t be able to accept applications from artists based in Italy.
The theme the residency aims at exploring is that of gender-based violence and violence against women, in particular. Through the creation of a participatory artistic programme, residents will be asked to elaborate on the topic and to reflect on the role that the performing arts can play in addressing what is in effect a social emergency.
During their stay, residents will be able to draw on field-research trips, asked to produce a shared artistic strategy, encouraged to co-create with fellow residents, and supported throughout the creation of a new framework designed with participatory performances in mind, where artists and their audiences interact in new and unexplored ways.
IDRA teatro will provide you with accommodation, workspaces, technical support, mentoring, and access to local networks.
A financial contribution is available, including a daily allowance, travel reimbursement, and any additional costs towards sustainable travel arrangements, family circumstances, visa, or accessibility requirements.
Read the call in full and apply via the form.
Applications are now open and close September 5th.
