The artistic residencies are intended as a space of welcome and care towards the project and the artist in residence. Specifically, they can offer, in synergy with the requests and needs of each artist, the provision of the rehearsal studio, the possible setting up in the theatre, the use of the technical material provided, logistic and organizational support. At the end of each residency, there will be a moment of confrontation and sharing of the research process, with the artistic direction or with a restricted audience, always respecting the specific needs.
Sosta Palmizi is a reference point in the field of contemporary choreographic creativity, engaged in a work of constant grounding in the territory, where it has been living for years, which sees among its main actions, that of hosting artists in residence in its spaces in Cortona and Arezzo.
