Haba ArtLab Barcelona operates at the intersection of research and presentation, offering dance artists a rare opportunity to develop work within a sustained institutional framework. The residency is structured around three phases—research, production, and exhibition—ensuring that the artist's process is not merely supported but also made visible to an audience. This tripartite model reflects a curatorial commitment to the full arc of artistic labor, from initial inquiry to public encounter. While the residency is based in Barcelona, its reach is global, inviting dance practitioners from diverse contexts to engage with the city's cultural fabric. The program does not prescribe a thematic focus, instead allowing artists to define their own research trajectories. This openness is matched by a rigorous selection process, where the jury seeks proposals that demonstrate conceptual clarity, formal ambition, and a critical awareness of dance's histories and futures. Artists selected for the residency will benefit from the institution's resources and networks, though specific provisions such as stipends, studio access, and production support are not detailed in the available information. What is clear is that the residency culminates in an exhibition, positioning the work within a public discourse. This structure is designed for artists who value both the privacy of research and the accountability of presentation.
