Corpus AiR
Corpus AiR
Corpus AiR is a residency for circus artists, visual artists (painters, illustrators), writers, dancers, and other creators who wish to develop their poetic expressions through close contact with Brazilian nature, the sea, lagoons, and the local community. We offer residencies for creators in contemporary arts, circus arts, visual arts, dance, land art, theatre, puppetry, photography, music, literature, design, fashion, and cinema. Nature is ever-present in AiR Corpus. We believe that immersion in nature sharpens the senses and the creative process, while the experience abroad leads residents to new discoveries about themselves and their artistic practice. The region boasts incredible biodiversity that inspires and connects participants with the environment.
Artists can use the space to focus on individual development through rehearsals, creations, and productions. Throughout the residency, participants can rely on the curatorship of Corpus Acrobatics’ founders and artistic directors, who offer guidance in direction, choreography, and creative development, or act as mentors (‘third eye’) for works in progress. Final results may be shared in a presentation to the local community.
The residence accommodates up to 4 people: one private room with a double bed and one shared room with two single beds. Groups larger than 4 may stay at nearby guesthouses.
Residents can relax and prepare meals in the open-plan kitchen and living area, with a semi-open deck. The shared bathroom overlooks the garden. Residents also have access to a glass office among the treetops—an inspiring space for literary creation. Access is private and independent, reserved exclusively for participants of the AiR programme. Minimum stay: 3 days. Maximum: 30 days. Meals, cultural activities, special tours, travel expenses, transfers, and health insurance are not included.
The studio is surrounded by a lush garden filled with greenery, flowers, and birds. It measures 48m² (8 x 6 m), with a 7.5 m ceiling and wooden floor, featuring secure anchor points for aerial practices and ample natural light.
WIFI available.
