Model

How the residencies work

Time, care, and guidance so creation can unfold with context.

A process-based model

ADAR residencies prioritize time and care: research, rehearsals, conversations and experimentation. They are not isolated commissions, but processes developed within a context and supported throughout.

Territory and heritage

Creation engages with rural architecture, granaries, chapels, paths and landscape. The headquarters works as a starting point to activate places with memory through site-specific experiences.

Mediation and community

Meetings, open rehearsals, talks and proximity-based actions. The residencies create connections: local and visiting audiences, artists and territory, shared practice and listening.

Archive and continuity

Audiovisual documentation, photography, texts and communication materials. The works continue their life in concerts, networks, future programming and partnerships, connecting Asturias with national and European circuits.
