Part of
CARAVANA DE CENTÀURIDES (ES) 2023-2024
Caravana de Centàurides is a group of people with different backgrounds who have coincided in spaces of activism and non-hegemonic art based on bodily and gender dissidence. A writer, two performers, a DJ who is also a pianist and a rhapsodist, they are part of an affective, political, leather, and anti-racist network in Barcelona.
Having experienced difficulties for their art to move outside of designated “special” circuits and the implicit discrimination of artists with functional diversities that perpetuates this, they scrutinize the look of society towards people with diverse functionalities, vulnerabilities, sexualities, and pleasures.
They investigate support products and technical aids designed for functional diversity artistically, to experiment and open new meanings that transcend the medicalising logic; and they explore the complicities that arise in liminal spaces, specifically the crip-queer alliances, through physical theatre, music, words, and telepathy.

Taken residency at
Nau Ivanow
Nau Ivanow is a space of welcome, accompaniment, research and innovation; a haven where companies will find the warmth needed to work unhurriedly and in good conditions. Residencies are the main focus of what we do. Our aim is to provide decent working conditions, always accompanying the artists and providing them with the resources they need. Nau Ivanow’s projects are underpinned by three major working axes: creation, accompaniment and work with the territory. And all of them with one common denominator: internationalization, which permeates each and every one of our projects.
UP
The purpose of UP is to develop and upskill the independent performing arts throughout Denmark. We define the free and independent performing arts as individuals, collectives and companies who work professionally with performance and primarily for and with independent performance groups, project supported companies, and lesser established theatres. Often without permanent access to a stage or a venue.
Kunstplaats Vonk
Kunstplaats Vonk is a studio and residency space for visual and performance arts in Hasselt and Genk, Belgium. At their 3 buildings they support artists with artistic feedback, an international network, presentation opportunities, studio-space and a financial contribution (for the residencies).
