AiRViNe, an organization facilitating international artistic exchange, announces the Asterisk in Residence Kyoto 2026 Residence Exchange Programme, specifically designed for Southeast Asian creators working in dance. This residency offers a rare opportunity for choreographers and movement artists from Southeast Asia to immerse themselves in the cultural and artistic context of Kyoto, Japan. While the exact dates and duration are not specified, the programme implies a focused period of creative development and cross-cultural dialogue. The residency is structured as an exchange, suggesting a reciprocal relationship between the artist and the host community in Kyoto. Artists will likely have access to studio space, mentorship, and networking opportunities within Japan's contemporary dance scene. The programme aims to foster artistic growth and international collaboration, providing a platform for Southeast Asian voices in the global dance landscape. Curatorially, the residency aligns with AiRViNe's mission to support underrepresented regions and promote cultural mobility. The selection committee will seek artists whose work demonstrates a strong artistic vision, a willingness to engage with new environments, and a potential to contribute to the cultural exchange. The programme does not specify a theme, but applicants should articulate how a residency in Kyoto would impact their practice and how they might engage with local communities.
