ÆTHOS X LAB — INTERNATIONAL CHOREOGRAPHIC EXCHANGE

3rd Edition | Open Call for Contemporary Dance Choreographers

Where: Taranto, Italy

When: February 15 – 21, 2027

Deadline for applications: October 31, 2026

Euthopia is inviting contemporary dance choreographers to join the company for a 5-days residency in Italy, from 15 to 19 February 2027.

During the residency, the selected choreographer will work with Euthopia’s dancers to create a new choreographic work, which will be presented in a public performance on 20 or 21 February 2027.

This year’s edition offers two collaboration options:

OPTION 1 – PAID RESIDENCY

The selected choreographer will receive:

* €700 artistic fee
* Accommodation for the duration of the residency
* Travel/transfer expenses to and from Italy
* 5 days of studio work with Euthopia’s dancers
* Public presentation of the resulting work

OPTION 2 — RECIPROCAL RESIDENCY EXCHANGE

For the first time, Æthos X Lab introduces a reciprocal choreographic exchange.

Instead of a monetary fee, the selected choreographer will:

* Join Euthopia for the 5-days residency in Italy;
* Create a new work with Euthopia’s dancers;
* Present the work in a public performance.

Following the residency, Euthopia will be invited to the selected artist’s company or organization for a corresponding residency, where the artistic director will create a new work with the host company’s dancers. The resulting work will also be presented in a public performance.

Travel, accommodation and production arrangements for the reciprocal residency will be agreed upon by the two organizations in advance.
