For the 2025/2026 theater season, Balletto di Siena is making available to artists, choreographers, dancers, and performers several spaces within its complex located at Piazza Maestri del Lavoro 31, Siena, along with the Black Box, an area designated as a performance space for public entertainment, accessible and equipped.
Where: Siena, Italy
When: Friday, November 21st at 9:00 PM
Deadline for applications: Friday, October 31st 2025
The call is open to all artists or artistic entities, whether individual or collective, whether their objectives are creation, production, research, or performance in the fields of dance, art, and culture.
The purpose of this call is to open the doors of the available spaces, hosting artistic personalities and facilitating their process of reflection, planning, and realization of their art. A center established and dedicated to the world of dance art, Black Box will give priority, in this fifth edition of residencies, to projects submitted that focus on the valorization of non-verbal language, innovation and choreographic research, and to emerging artists in the world of contemporary performance, classical ballet, or any other form. Particular importance will be given to the artistic aptitude demonstrated in the proposed project, as well as the quality of previous artistic work, which can be found via videos submitted with the new application.
Spaces will be assigned and scheduled in consultation with the selected artists, starting from October 2025 to November 2025. Part-time or full-time residencies are available, as well as performances and shows can be included within Black Box’s Winter Live Performance Season. Artists using the space are required to respect the environment and the rules for use and hygiene of the space.
