Given the overwhelming number of applications we have already received, we will be closing the call earlier than expected. The new deadline is Tuesday September 30, 12 am. The next call for the 2026–27 season will be announced in June 2026. Stay tuned!

 

Starting from this season, Rosas is pleased to announce an open call for the Artist-in-Residency program, supporting emerging artists working at the intersection of music, dance and/or choreography.

This residency offers dedicated time and space for artistic research and creation, with a focus on exploring structural relationships between sound, rhythm, and the moving body.
