Centro Servizi Culturali S. Chiara, in partnership with Pergine Festival and ariaTeatro, promotes the 4th edition of Non Addomesticabili 2026 Call, aimed at collectives, companies or choreographers residing, domiciled or active in Trentino Alto-Adige. The Non Addomesticabili call was created to support the development of a new original* contemporary dance work, encouraging innovation and interaction with other disciplines.
The selected project can be developed during a series of residencies and presented to the public in two stages: as a short study at Festival Bellandi (April 10-28, 2026) and in the full version for its premiere at Pergine Festival 2026, at Ex Rimessa Carrozze space (June 27 – July 12, 2026).
The call is open to artists of all ages, with no age limits, active in the field of contemporary dance and residing, domiciled or active** in Trentino Alto-Adige. The call offers 60 paid working days, divided between February-April and May-July 2026, with access to equipped spaces and technical support during rehearsals, study, and the final presentation. The production will also include stage photographs and a video trailer produced by the Pergine Festival communication team.
To apply for the call, it is necessary to submit an application including:
-
- presentation sheet of the creation,
- artist’s portfolio (or CV),
- link to the study video,
- minimum technical requirements,
- a photo,
- authorizations for the processing of personal data.
All documentation must be sent in a single email by 12:00 PM on January 3, 2026 to nonaddomesticabili.bando@gmail.com. No additions will be accepted after the deadline.
The project selection will be handled by a commission composed of representatives from the three producing partners. Artistic quality, coherence, and feasibility of the creative path, as well as clarity of presentation, will be evaluated. Results of the first selection will be communicated by January 13, 2026. The final results will be published on January 15, 2026 on the official Centro Santa Chiara website.
