Mórula is an activity that has been growing and progressively consolidating itself over the years. It promotes research, experimentation and artistic creation of contemporary dance, and is aimed at emerging creators who are natural and/or live in the North Region of Portugal, with dance creations in the development phase.
The Creative Residency Incentive Program serves to stimulate the local artistic fabric, supporting and encouraging creators of different levels, in the choreographic exploration and maturation of their ideas and intentions, even before having a presentation and/or co-production agreement. It is a way of favoring the sales possibilities of the shows and improving the approach of creators to programmers.
It distinguishes itself from other residency activities in Portugal for the artistic accompaniment it encourages. The mentor is not imposed, but a choice of the creator himself between his contacts, or other artistic or scientific areas, complementary or not. This type of interaction comes naturally to many creators who feel the need to receive feedback. Instável’s action is to make this happen, encouraging sharing, maintaining the openness and distance necessary for creation, making sure creators have an organized mentor, providing a grant.
