CORPUS AIR IS A RESIDENCY FOR CIRCUS ARTISTS, VISUAL ARTISTS (PAINTERS, ILLUSTRATORS), WRITERS, DANCERS, AND OTHER CREATORS WHO WISH TO DEVELOP THEIR POETIC EXPRESSIONS THROUGH CLOSE CONTACT WITH BRAZILIAN NATURE, THE SEA, LAGOONS, AND THE LOCAL COMMUNITY. WE OFFER RESIDENCIES FOR CREATORS IN CONTEMPORARY ARTS, CIRCUS ARTS, VISUAL ARTS, DANCE, LAND ART, THEATRE, PUPPETRY, PHOTOGRAPHY, MUSIC, LITERATURE, DESIGN, FASHION, AND CINEMA.

NATURE IS EVER-PRESENT IN AIR CORPUS. WE BELIEVE THAT IMMERSION IN NATURE SHARPENS THE SENSES AND THE CREATIVE PROCESS, WHILE THE EXPERIENCE ABROAD LEADS RESIDENTS TO NEW DISCOVERIES ABOUT THEMSELVES AND THEIR ARTISTIC PRACTICE. THE REGION BOASTS INCREDIBLE BIODIVERSITY THAT INSPIRES AND CONNECTS PARTICIPANTS WITH THE ENVIRONMENT

CORPUS AiR – ARTISTIC RESIDENCY

Artists can use the space to focus on individual development through rehearsals, creations, and productions. Throughout the residency, participants can rely on the curatorship of Corpus Acrobatics’ founders and artistic directors, who offer guidance in direction, choreography, and creative development, or act as mentors (‘third eye’) for works in progress.

 

Artists determine the dates and duration of their stay (up to 30 days, with a maximum of 4 participants). There is no full-time curatorial mediation, but residents may consult curators when needed. Artists are responsible for their own projects and activities.

 

The environment fosters deep connections between people and nature, encouraging an organic flow of ideas and exchanges. Corpus is part of the Res Artis platform, a global network connecting artists in over 80 countries.

 

Final results may be shared in a presentation to the local community.
