CROSS Project – Fondazione CROSS ETS

CROSS PROJECT is committed to the enhancement of the territory: rooted between the shores of Lake Maggiore and Lake Orta, in Piedmont, in a highly suggestive landscape context, CROSS Project works within this territory by opening a fertile dialogue between cultural heritage, landscape and performing arts.

CROSS is a project that brings together different artistic research activities that develops production, training and promotion activities for projects related to contemporary performing arts languages, focusing on projects that favour interdisciplinarity and with the theme of inner and spiritual research.

Playing with languages, making the layers interact, therefore, to enhance the intrinsic spirituality of the chosen places, inviting the public to a different way of listening, preparatory to an inner journey, through the creation of new liturgies.

CROSS Festival is a Dance and Performing Arts Festival, it is a point of reference for the performing arts and contributes to the international debate, whose fundamental prerequisites today must be continuous research towards linguistic experimentation and responsibility towards the social context in which it originates.

CROSS Residence, is an artistic residency programme that privileges the relationship between artistic creation and the territory. The residency programme acts as a real tool to support the production of project ideas and new projects.

CROSS Award is a biennial call for applications that selects artists to be hosted in residency, the call is thematic.

FONDAZIONE CROSS ETS is a creative nest, a group of professionals that for years has been organising human and site-specific projects in the area of Lake Maggiore and Lake Orta to experiment with the public the new languages of performing arts, dance, through artistic and spiritual research practices in naturalistic environments.
