LIVE WORKS is a platform created in 2013 to contribute to the expansion of the performance idea, following its continuous development. The nine projects selected as a result of this competition will be invited to participate in the Residence in July 2020 (Northern Italy).

Artists and artists from anywhere in the world, without age restrictions, in person or in a group, will be able to participate. The organizers view the performance in a broad sense - it includes new media, sound art, choreography and text practices, lectures, workshops, multimedia prioritization. There are long-term projects that require development or completion and for which the residence will be an evolution or the final chapter.

July 6 - arrival

July 7 - 23 - Performance School, residence period for research and production. 

July 24-26 - presentations of projects in the framework of the festival of performing arts Drodesera (9 projects of the participants of the residence will be shown together with the projects of famous performers).

Each of the selected projects will be offered a budget of € 1,500. Of this amount, € 1.000 will be allocated for the project and € 500 for the contractor's fee.

The organizer (Centrale Fies) covers the travel costs (max. €500 per project) and provides accommodation and meals during the residence. Mentor support and other assistance will also be provided by the staff for project implementation. For foreign candidates, Centrale Fies will provide an invitation letter if required.
