2 min read

Open call for dancers in Portugal, 10 days art residency at AgitLab Lab, that offers dance workshops and rehearsals in building performance combined with body-painting and visual arts. The fee and accommodation is included.

Where: AgitLab, Águeda, Portugal

When: June 25 till July 6 2026

Deadline for applications: May 18th 2026

Águeda positions itself as a promoter of culture, having long supported initiatives that foster and encourage the creation and dissemination of culture in all its forms and expressions, actively involving the local community and ensuring democratic access to culture.

It is within this context that the body painting project “Mind & Heart” takes place, a collaborative creation between the artist Vilija Vitkute, two-time world body painting champion, and the choreographer Eszter Rápolthy, which will be presented on July 4 and 5 as part of AgitÁgueda – Art Festival 2026.

This project, developed as an artistic residency, invites local and international dancers living in Portugal to take part in a unique artistic experience, which will involve body painting performed by three world body painting champions. The project will include workshops, moments of reflection, exploration of movement, and visual arts practices.

We are therefore looking for 9 dancers who are fully available to participate in a 10-day artistic residency, including two days dedicated to body painting and a live performance at AgitÁgueda – Art Festival on July 4 and 5, 2026.

Those selected will receive a grant of €400, as well as shared accommodation and meals at the Casa das Residências, located in the Alta Vila Municipal Park, as part of the AgitLab Project, from June 25 to July 6.
