Philotera AS — Ongoing open call

Overview
Philotera AS maintains a rolling open call for a residency dedicated to music and dance. The program is designed for practitioners whose work engages with the moving body and sound, offering a space for research, creation, and presentation outside the constraints of commercial production cycles. The residency operates internationally, without a fixed geographic base, reflecting a commitment to cross-border artistic exchange and site-responsive practice. The residency provides selected artists with a fee of $1,000.00 USD. This stipend acknowledges the labor and time required for focused creative work, though artists should note that the fee is not intended to cover all production or travel expenses. The absence of a specified deadline allows for continuous submission, enabling artists to apply when their project is ready rather than according to an external calendar. Curatorially, Philotera AS positions itself at the intersection of music and dance, favoring proposals that treat sound and movement as interdependent languages. The residency does not prescribe a thematic framework, instead inviting artists to define their own inquiries. This openness is paired with a rigorous selection process, where clarity of intent and feasibility of the proposed work are paramount. The program is suited to those who thrive in self-directed environments and who can articulate how a residency period would advance their practice.
