The Artists in Residence programme is organised jointly by La Casa Encendida and CA2M with a mandate to support artistic creation and research centred on performative work with the body. The programme aims at striking up a dialogue between artists and the main agents associated with the art centres and their respective programmes.

Acento es un programa vinculado a Artistas en residencia en el que durante dos jornadas se realizarán presentaciones de algunos de los proyectos llevados a cabo durante las estancias de 2017 y donde se generará un espacio de encuentro con los artistas del 2018. En estos días ambas instituciones quieren poner el acento en la reflexión que parte de la propia investigación artística a través del cuerpo, entendiendo este como cuerpo social, como una construcción política productora de saberes desde lo sensible.

BLACK BOX WHITE CUBE
In this cycle of performances, dance and theatre, we present a set of proposals that depart from the idea of performance as a discipline that expands and oversteps the traditional boundaries of not only the practices themselves, but also the conventional exhibition spaces and institutions dedicated to artistic practices.

yabba
Yabba is a cosmos with its own order, its own rhythm and its own systems in movement that invites spectators to enter a new logic. A hybrid of different technologies, an amalgam of entities in constant transformation in time that produces other things in the encounter with those who observe them.

JINETE ÚLTIMO REINO FRAG. 3
“Jinete is not a rider, Jinete is the effect of resisting the flat plains, the experience of making room in this vast world that tries to oust us, nothing that will last for long, without pain and without danger, and still we hope it won’t disappear.” María Salgado and Fran MM Cabeza de Vaca use these words to describe their latest audio-textual research, which revolves around subjective disobedience in the current socio-historical context.

THE OVAH BALL
The Ovah Ball is not far off, and it’s the moment you’ve been waiting for to show off your creativity and originality and take it to another level. Create a work of art with your performance and your look. This ball is your chance to be the artist, exhibiting your masterpiece...

STORYBOARD P
For his performance at CA2M, Storyboard P will alternate between freestyle improvisation and storytelling, exploring the body as a source of empowerment and self-affirmation in the face of loss and structural violence.

THE FABULOUS KIKI BALL
Kiki is the less mainstream side to the ballroom scene. Because it is more open, it gives exposure to new members coming onto the scene and offers the audience a chance to take part. A ball is a voguing battle where dancers and artists demonstrate their moves in different categories in front of an international jury.
