ACASA is the project of choreographic residencies that the Center of Relevant National Interest for Dance Scenario Pubblico/Compagnia Zappalà Danza has been promoting since 2015.

The main mission is to support and accompany the various generations of choreographers working in a contemporary context, without any geographical or stylistic limits.

For the ACASA 24/25 call promoted by Scenario Pubblico and intended for artists over 30, n°165 applications were registered and evaluated.

Given the long and difficult selection process also due to the high quality of the projects and participating companies/artists, we have chosen to expand the number of those selected to 8, contrary to the 6 initially foreseen in the announcement.

Here are the names of the companies/artists who will have the opportunity to participate in the residency program over 2024 and 2025:

Antonino Ceresia & Fabio Dolce/Cie Essevesse (IT/FR)

Lunella Cherchi (IT)

Nicola Simone Cisternino (IT)

Andrea Costanzo Martini (IT/IL)

Carlo Diego Massari /C&C Company (IT) 

Sofia Nappi /Komoco (IT)

Ilenja Rossi /compagnia GDO|UDA (IT)

Emma Zani /Yoy Performing Arts (IT)

A heartfelt thanks to all those who participated in the selection process.
