Join us for an immersive summer residency culminating in the creation and performance of a new devised work, based on two local folk heroines, Dina & Clarenza. This production reimagines the story of these legendary Sicilian women through dynamic movement, evocative imagery, and ensemble storytelling. Selected artists will collaborate closely with the local community, with performances scheduled during the annual Trinacria Arts Festival. This prestigious residency covers most expenses, excluding airfare and personal travel insurance.
