PARTS and Rosas invite you!
With SummerResidencies 2024 P.A.R.T.S. and Rosas aim to meet a need for workspace and creative meeting places in Brussels' vibrant arts scene.
Besides free studio space with coaching in our professionally equipped dance studios, we also offer thematic labs for young makers & professionals from 18 years.
You can find the open call for the residencies below.
In order to take part, artists needed to apply and be selected.
SummerResidencies 2024 takes place between Monday July 8 and Friday August 9.
OPEN CALL FOR RESIDENCIES (JULY 8 > AUGUST 9)
Between Monday July 8 and Friday August 9, Rosas and P.A.R.T.S. make their dance studios available to young people.
If you are looking for a space to develop your project or to experiment, you can apply to use the dance studios.
Send us a motivation about the project you are working on. It could be research in preparation of a new production, rehearsals, a project that will be set up as a result of the residency, or something completely different. For us it is essential that it is a creative process.
SummerResidencies offers professionally equipped dance studios (floating floor, dance carpet, mirrors and a sound system).
Work is possible on weekdays, not on the weekends. You can sign up to work from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. or all day (this last option might not be available if there are a large number of projects).
If you wish, we can also provide feedback.
If you would like to participate in the SummerSchool of P.A.R.T.S., you can also combine it with an evening rehearsal block in the SummerResidencies.
Application procedure:
Fill in this application form before 31 May 2024.
You will receive an answer about your application by mid-June.

OPEN CALL FOR A THEMATIC LAB WITH ANNE TERESA DE KEERSMAEKER & CORENTIN HANNON ON DANCE & NATURE: ‘MANUAL POWER, HORSE LABOUR AND DANCE’ (part 3) (July 3 - 7)
Over the last years, outdoor physical labour has increasingly become a source of inspiration for Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker.
For 2 consecutive years, Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker and Corentin Hannon initiated the workshop ‘Hand power, horse labour and dance’ during Summer. They gathered a diverse group of dancers and non dancers, who shared an interest in outdoor labour and agriculture.
Building on last year’s inspiring collective experience, there will be another sequel this year. During this workshop you will start the day with movement sessions for dancers and non-dancers alike. In the afternoon you will explore some (traditional) techniques stemming from agriculture under guidance of Anne Teresa herself and Corentin Hannon: scything (guided by the experts of ‘Zeis en Bijl’), wood lumbering, haymaking as well as pulling exercises with draught horses. During the workshop you will get to work outdoors in a small community, learn how to make fire and cook together, spend time on the field whilst exploring a range of techniques and repetitive movements.
How to reconnect our body and the environment?
How to slow down in a world full of impulses?
De School van Gaasbeek serves as a base, while the activities take place in the surrounding fields.
