Rosas is delighted to announce the selected artists for the Rosas Artist Residency Program 2025–2026.

This program offers choreographers and interdisciplinary artists the opportunity to develop their artistic projects within the inspiring working environment of the Rosas studios in Brussels.

We received an overwhelming number of applications from around the world — 170 submissions within just 10 days — and therefore had to close the call earlier than originally announced. As we announced we reviewed only first 50 eligible applications and the jury selected 4 residents.

In our evaluation, we looked for artistically strong, motivated, and clearly formulated proposals focused on creation at the intersection of music/sound and dance/movement. We also aimed to maintain a balance between local and international artists, as well as a diversity of artistic practices and stages of development.  Scheduling constraints, a limited number of studios, and varying practical requests also played a role in shaping the final selection.

Rosas will welcome the following artists in the season 2025-26.

  • Patric Eduardo da Cunha (Brazil/Belgium)
  • Julia Rubies Subiros (Spain/Belgium)
  • Mami Kang (Japan/The Netherlands)
  • Charlie Khalil Prince (Lebanon/Canada)

Each artist will spend from 2 to 4 weeks at Rosas studios to further develop their ongoing research or new creation, with access to studio space, technical and administrative support, and opportunities for artistic exchange with the Rosas team and associated partners on our campus and in Brussels.

We warmly congratulate all selected residents and thank every applicant for sharing their work and artistic vision with us.

Stay tuned for updates and open moments throughout the residency season.

Patric da Cuhna
Patric da Cuhna is a versatile dancer, performer, and creator from São Paulo, Brazil, and a graduate of P.A.R.T.S. in Brussels, where they are now based.
Their first encounter with institutionalized dance took place in their hometown, where they discovered a deep interest in movement. Things became more serious when they joined the training program for dancers at EDA, which expanded their understanding of what dance and art could be — and eventually routed them to continue their studies in Europe.
After spending a year in Sweden in the NEFCD program, where they refined their dance and artistic skills, Patric went on to study at P.A.R.T.S. As an emerging artist, they have been performing in some venues across Brussels and recently appeared in Chapters of Celebration, a new piece by Benjamin Abel Meirhaeghe.
Patric’s work explores the intersections of sound, rhythm, movement, and text, incorporating poetry and language as integral components of their practice. Their work also investigates the effects of time and a decolonial desire to reimagine, using history and identity as both points of departure and return, seeking new ways for the body and words to communicate memory, rhythm, and transformation.


Júlia Rúbies Subirós
Júlia Rúbies Subirós is a Brussels-based performer, choreographer, and researcher whose work weaves dance, voice, feminist theory, and collective methodologies. A P.A.R.T.S. graduate, she has collaborated as a performer with Michiel Vandevelde, Marco D'Agostin, Paz Rojo, Alix Eynaudi, Ian Kaler, Georgia Vardarou, and is currently working with Mette Ingvartsen on several projects touring internationally.
Her practice spans different scales with a strong focus on collective work. She has worked with AccompanyClass and MOTA000BXL, and is the founder of Cascades in Barcelona, a project exploring intergenerational artistic memory. 
Active as a writer and pedagogue, she has contributed to dance publications and worked as a teaching artist at PARTS and guest jury member at the Antwerp Conservatory.
Her ongoing solo project, She Spells Sea Shells on the Shea Sore, investigates feminized vocality through fragmented storytelling and the re-enactment of archetypal figures. Her work moves between poetic intuition and structural thinking, inviting entry into spaces where language breaks, ghosts speak, and tenderness coexists with rupture.

 

Mami Kang
Mami Kang is a choreographer and artist born in Japan and currently based in Amsterdam. Her performances often embody hybrid, quasi-fictional figures emerging from Korean diasporic experience. Navigating states of visibility, ambiguity, and cultural memory, she conjures transformative presences that resist fixed narratives, giving rise to uncanny sensations and hauntological traces of identity.
As a graduate of the SNDO – School for New Dance Development (2019), where she now teaches movement research, Kang has presented her work internationally across theater, gallery, and site responsive contexts, including Huis Marseille, Arti et Amicitiae, Veem House for Performance, Frascati Theater, and Uferstudios.
Her solo performance Body Drift was named a “Critic’s Choice” by Theaterkrant in 2022.
Alongside her choreographic work, she has collaborated with artists including Billy Morgan, Eglė Budvytytė, Bob Kil, and Ivan Cheng.
 

Charlie Khalil Prince
Charlie Khalil Prince (b.1991, Beirut) is a Lebanese dancer, choreographer, and musician whose work fuses movement, sound, and political consciousness into transcendent performance. His practice explores the body as a place, symbol, and archive, positioning vulnerability as a form of rebellion, and performance as a space of memory, resistance, and renewal.
By blending music and movement in a single, vibrant gesture, he transforms the body into both receptacle and witness, navigating between grief and visionary futures that resist cultural subjugation. Prince's choreographic creations have been and continue to be presented internationally across continents.
In 2023, he was an artist-in-residence at Villa Empain in Brussels, where he received the Boghossian Foundation Award for Dance and Performance.
His solo work ‘the body symphonic’ was selected as part of Aerowaves in 2025.
