TAD Residency
Sophie Hames - Luisa Turuani - Fabritia D'Intino

TAD Residency is a residency project that brings together artists who practice Theatre, Visual Arts, and Dance. Born from the collaboration between TTB teatro tascabile, Contemporary Locus, and FDE Festival Danza Estate, TAD takes place in Bergamo at the Monastero del Carmine, which transforms each year for the occasion into a large coworking space. The goal of the residency is to promote free experimentation with transdisciplinary practices and to encourage encounters between artists who use different expressive languages in their work. This brief period of coexistence among the participants is designed to stimulate curiosity, develop, and foster possible cross-fertilizations between Theatre, Visual Arts, and Dance.

TAD concludes with a public restitution moment, the form of which is defined with the artists during the course of the experience. This event represents an opportunity to present the participants' artistic practices and to share the themes developed during the residency. The appointment is scheduled for Sunday, July 7 at 7:00 PM.

THEATRE
Sophie Hames (living and working in Italy for 15 years) is a Belgian actress, puppeteer, and designer. With her company Mon cœur de bois, she creates intimate and political shows for adults and teenagers, using hybrid and dreamlike puppets that explore themes of bodies, transformation, self-determination, fragility, and hopes. She has developed and activated an artistic practice called Love Me Tender in high schools. She is an associate artist of the Immaginare Orlando association and the Orlando Festival. In Italy, she collaborates with UNIMA, specifically in the Simposio project, a research centered on the figure, the animated object, and relationships in social contexts.

VISUAL ARTS
Luisa Turuani (Milan, 1992) intertwines various media such as performance, video, installation, and drawing, focusing on the relationship between society and time. After studying at the Brera Academy in Milan, she experimented with performative actions in urban contexts and fused material and digital aspects, creating works in continuous transformation. Her poetic reflects on the weight of time and the human attempts to manipulate, manage, and consume a dimension, that of time, which in contemporary society is increasingly elusive and difficult to define. In 2022, she won the Italian Council with 1 secondo 1 grammo, presented in Italy and abroad in institutions such as Modo asbl (Brussels), OnCurating Project Space (Zurich), and the International Museum of Ceramics (Faenza). She participates in numerous events, exhibitions, residencies, awards, and workshops such as: Dialogos Part Six (Kenya, 2022), Crypto Art 2121 (Italy's first digital crypto art exhibition - 2021), the AccadeMibact Award (2020), Artissima Experimental Academy (2019), the UK Young Artists Biennial (2019). Her works are featured in various publications, including 1 second 1 gram (2023) and 222. Emerging Artists to Invest In (2021).

DANCE
Fabritia D’Intino (Foligno, 1986), graduated in Contemporary Triennium at the National Dance Academy in Rome, holds a Bachelor's in Dance from ArtEZ in Arnhem, the Netherlands, and a Master's in Performing Arts MAP_PA in Rome. A dancer and choreographer, her artistic research focuses on international mobility and interdisciplinary collaboration. From 2013 to 2019, she coordinated and curated the Barcelona International Dance Exchange - BIDE platform in Spain, overseeing activities in various countries across Europe and America. Her choreographic works, often in collaboration with other artists, are presented in various national and international contexts. In addition to creating performances for the stage, she develops her artistic practice in urban contexts and with a site-specific approach, through research formats, participatory and installation projects. As a dancer, she has collaborated with companies, visual artists, and choreographers. She has won awards such as In Generazione and TU 35 Expanded, has been selected for platforms such as Danse Elargie and NID Platform, and participates in research programs like Workspace Ricerca X and Trasmissioni.
