WHO THE RESIDENCY IS FOR

The open call is addressed to individual vocalists, choirs, vocal ensembles, and collectives engaged in performance, artistic research, historical inquiry, experimental development, or interdisciplinary work.

Applicants may work with contemporary music, traditional repertoire, improvisation, early music, sound art, theatre, movement, electroacoustic media, community projects, site-responsive work, expanded notation, oral transmission, or hybrid forms.

Individual vocalists may propose performances, recordings, technical inquiries, research projects, lecture-performances, improvisational frameworks, or source-based investigations. Choirs and ensembles may propose collective methodologies, repertoire-based projects, rehearsal inquiries, experimental structures of coordination, research questions, or works in progress.

Projects may be at any stage, provided they can be meaningfully developed through sustained presentation, contextualization, experimentation, critical dialogue, and public articulation.

The program is suited to artists prepared to examine not only what they perform, but how their practices are historically, materially, institutionally, and organizationally constituted.

Participants should be prepared to:

 

– present and contextualize their work;

– share relevant scores, recordings, texts, documentation, or research materials;

– demonstrate methods where appropriate;

– discuss historical, technical, linguistic, ethical, and organizational conditions;

– offer and receive precise artistic and critical feedback;

– participate in collective listening and experimentation;

– remain responsive to the transformation of their projects;

– develop an appropriate public format for Bled;

– contribute to a working environment based on attentiveness, reciprocity, care, and professional responsibility.
