We want to thank everyone for your participation in the call. It has been a difficult task for the commission since we received many proposals and very varied.

Call

La Caldera is opening the call for its programme of residencies for the period January to December 2022.

This year we have two modalities to the call: creation residence and technique residence.

This year, it is planned to host a total of 10 projects: 10 creation residences and 2 technical residences.

Aimed at creators, collectives and researchers from different artistic disciplines working in the performing arts, where the body and/or movement is a central material, tool or question in their project. Their origin may be local, national or international.

 Modalities:

Creation residencies

Aimed to play host to entire projects or to a specific phase in the creative process. The goal is to offer time and space in order to go deeper into working processes and materials in a context that allows the proposals presented to mature and evolve.

We offer:

  • Free rehearsal space. Timing (intensity, length, calendars ...) will be studied and agreed upon so that the different requirements and rhythm of each project can be met, taking into account availability relative to other activities taking place in La Caldera.
  • La Caldera Les Corts offers three different sized studios whose layout, equipment and possibilities determine the type of work that they are most suitable for. We advise you to visit this link so you can match your proposal to their characteristics: Sala 1, Sala 4, Sala 6.
  • It will cover the expenses of national and international travel (within the European Community) and possibility of accommodation.
  • Economic contribution to cover the minimum expenses generated during the period of residence in La Caldera. Between 400€ and 900€ depending on the needs and characteristics of each project.
  • Possibility of accompaniment and artistic advise during the work process in dialogue with team of La Caldera.
  • Opportunity to generate appropriate contexts to share the processes of creation and open them to external views with different levels of exposure within the framework of Cápsulas de Creación en Crudo.
  • Free registration to Sporá Prógrama and the programming of the activities of La Caldera.
  • The option to participate in any of the different activities, exchange and cooperation projects generated by La Caldera.
  • One free mentoring session: management and production with Elclimamola.
  • Free  WiFi.
  • Access to common spaces in the centre
  • Visibility and dissemination through the centre’s different communication channels.

Selection of projects

Evaluation criteria

Obviously the main criterion is the quality of the artistic proposal and its interest within the context of contemporary creation. We have also set out further criteria, purely for guidance, that coincide with the mission or lines of work currently developed by La Caldera.

>Clarity in the expounding of the proposal and in the planning and coherence of the project.

>New visions and ways of approaching creation, open to risk and experimentation, using languages, methodologies and formats.

>The capacity to generate a context for reflection and critical thought around the proposal.

>An interest in building a dialogue with the centre in order to define the most suitable mechanisms for collecting and / or sharing the knowledge emerging from the practices and processes

>Links to other artistic disciplines, fields of knowledge.

>Projects those are capable of developing actions for social mediation and participation without entering into conflict with artistic interests.

Selection Committee

The selection committee will be formed by performing arts professionals from different artistic disciplines and profiles, some with links to La Caldera and others from outside. Once the selection process is over, the composition of the committee will be made public.

Requirements

This call is aimed at individuals and legal entities. In order to participate, you must fill in the form, specifying which modality you have chosen and making sure you attach all required documentation in each case.

Period for the reception of projects and resolutions:

The period for the reception of projects starts on Tuesday 14th September and ends on Sunday 17th October 2021 at 11.59pm.
