PARADISE AIR — RePAIR Program — [2] Flexible Residency (Self-Guided Stay)

Overview
PARADISE AIR, an artist-run residency based in Matsudo, Japan, extends its RePAIR Program to the field of dance through a Flexible Residency (Self-Guided Stay). This opportunity is designed for choreographers, dancers, and movement artists who require unstructured time and space to pursue independent research, experimentation, or project development without the pressure of a fixed outcome. The program operates on a self-guided model, placing trust in the artist's own working methods and rhythms. The residency provides access to studio space and accommodation, fostering an environment of quiet concentration. While specific amenities and duration are not detailed in the available information, the self-guided format implies a high degree of autonomy. Artists are expected to be self-motivated and resourceful, capable of structuring their own time to maximize the residency's potential. The RePAIR Program's ethos suggests a commitment to process over product, making it ideal for those in transitional phases or developing new vocabularies. PARADISE AIR has a history of supporting interdisciplinary practices and international exchange. This call, specifically for dance, indicates an openness to embodied research and performance-making that may not fit traditional residency molds. The lack of a prescribed theme or outcome underscores the program's flexibility, allowing artists to define their own parameters. It is an invitation to slow down, to repair, and to engage deeply with one's practice in a supportive, removed setting.
