Oriente Occidente Studio is part of the broader Regional residency centre of Trentino Alto Adige/Südtirol, PASSO NORD together with Centrale Fies, Compagnia Abbondanza/Bertoni, Cooperativa Teatrale Prometeo and Teatro Cristallo.
Many artists have come and gone over the years, making the most of their artist residency experience and time at Oriente Occidente Studio to rehearse, study and work.
Some of them have been for a while or still are our associated artists.
The call for artistic residencies 2025 will be published shortly.
The artists selected under the 2024 call for proposals:
Gianmaria Borzillo, Claudia Caldarano, Edoardo Mozzanega, Sofia Nappi, Cristina Kristal Rizzo, Stefania Tansini.
By November 2024, we had received 164 projects. The winners were selected by a committee as follows:
Lanfranco Cis, artistic director Oriente Occidente
Linda Dipietro, artistic director Base Milano
Pier Giacomo Cirella, General Secretary Fondazione Teatro Comunale Città di Vicenza
Peter Paul Kainrath, festival director Transart
The commission reserves the right to an online interview before the final selection.
To be successful, in line with some of the key pillars of our mission, each project must:
Include research inputs and experiences that can create connections with the local environment, the focus being on cultivating relationships and a sense of community
Foster research and creation processes capable of growing the culture of diversity, inclusion and accessibility
The selected projects will also receive a financial award to be determined during the interview with the artistic direction.
