CAPa’s
creation
residency
programme

CAPa, Algarve Performing Arts Center, in Faro, founded in 2001, runs a series of programmes to support the creation, training and dissemination of the Performing Arts, involving national and international professionals. CAPa’s Creation Residency Program allows creators/companies from different artistic areas to develop their projects, taking advantage of the Center’s capabilities.

CAPa is a home for many, where people live temporarily in an artificial way, in absolute dedication to each creation that is developed here. It has the particularity of offering access to all the necessary facilities in the same building: from work studios to living areas, from the Blackbox to the kitchen. These facilities make all the difference, they provide a favourable environment for the creative process, which contributes, in the opinion of the residents, to the development of focused and productive work throughout the period of residence. This is one of the most decisive factors in the many requests we receive every year from national and international creators.
