THEME


The award aims to promote investigation and artistic expressions related to the combination of different styles and genres, considering multi-language practices and the mix of techniques and codes pertaining to the various performing arts as reward factors. The goal of the competition is to identify new productions - thoroughly unpublished - that put in dialogue the language of the body and of the stage performance with musical composition, without any restrictions or constraints of kind, category or practice. New for 2018 is the formula of "artists in the territories". CROSS therefore wants to support the productions that will favor the relationship with the territory both through projects that deal with the theme of the landscape, themes that are generally environmental or that can meet the community. There are no limits on how to share with the territory, the practices and the artistic disciplines.


CRITERIA FOR PARTICIPATION


The call is open to individual artists, professionals and companies. The project must be submitted as a production that can be developed during the different phases of the residency and that could include the most diverse expressive practices (as such: dance, music composition and interpretation, DJ-set, live soundtrack, composition of a soundtrack, activity of noise music, theatre, body performance, singing, new technologies, video art, motion-capture, readings, site-specific design). Each participant can present only one project. To be considered for the award, must be presented only unpublished projects - therefore debut works – that need to be carried out during the first period of the artistic residency. The award is open to all groups, companies, collective and individual artists, both national and international, with at least 3 years of production demonstrated by curriculum vitae.

The projects will have to be realized in the spaces identified by the organization. Only new projects will be taken into account. Production proposals must consider the research area in which the competition develops, that is, the virtuous relationship and synergy between the compositional and expressive musical practices and the act of performing on stage. The three selected projects will be announced by September 20th, 2018 and will be developed during the residency phase in Verbania in a period to be agreed between September 30th and November 30th 2018. For a maximum of 15 days of residence for each individual artist / company selected. The work carried out will be presented to the public and to the jury (territorial and expert). The companies must submit an extract of the duration of no less than 20' and no more than 30'.
