The Multidisciplinary Residency 2024 of the Académie du Festival d’Aix is a moment dedicated to embodied research processes. It engages in a dialogue between theoretical exploration and creative practice, providing a common space for sharing knowledge through collective moments and different forms of interaction. The first edition of the residency gives a special attention to the Voice as an intrinsically interdisciplinary field. The Voice is to be understood as an embodied phenomenon embedded in the tangible reality of flesh, a materially intersubjective realm, a study area of vocal performance and singing, a tool for la prise de parole and political engagement, a material for the aural imagination, and a force that navigates among human and more-than-human bodies.

Conceived with performing arts theorist, dramaturg and curator Piersandra Di Matteo, the Multidisciplinary Residency of the Académie offers to foster dialogue among different disciplines and field of research: music and sound, visual arts, stage direction, choreography, critical theory and curating of the performing arts, dramaturgy and literature.

This residency is support by enoa and European Union’s Creative Europe programm.
