Performa

Taking part

Artists should approach Performa with a clear, well-developed proposal for a new performance work that demonstrates a strong conceptual foundation and an innovative use of live elements. Performa prioritizes projects that are ambitious in scale and vision, often involving collaboration across disciplines. It is advisable to research past commissions to understand the curatorial tone. While Performa does not have an open call for its biennial, it occasionally issues calls for specific programs, such as the Teatri Riflessi International Short Performance Competition. For such opportunities, follow guidelines meticulously and ensure the work aligns with the theme. Building a relationship with the organization through attendance and engagement with its programs can also be beneficial.
