All the events are organized in a season bimonthly, the SWAP Season (Seesaw Artists Partnership).

ARTIST RESIDENCIES
Seesaw House wants to give support, in terms of creative space and fruitful exchange, to artists who have work-in-progress productions. It hosts national and international companies, choreographers and directors who have the willingness to research and experiment the use of different languages in their piece and who have the willingness to share their works to reach their maximum expressive potential.
At the end of the residency, there will be a public demonstration, an open exchange with the audience, and the chance to organize a workshop.
The residencies are offered in two ways, through Calls that are published on the website and the main platforms: and through requests by email with the following attachment: CV of the director/choreographer or the Company; Synopsis and/or description of the work; technical rider; link video (not just trailer or promo); short work plan during the residency.

COMPAGNIE VOIX
Compagnie Voix encourages communication through movement and choreography, meta-linguistics, the relationship between dance and science, new dance and contemporary art applications. Its activities are applied in education, research, experimentation, creation and production. Compagnie Voix is an international choreographic research project applying new media, with the aim placing the audience at the center of the experience: we create choreographies from the analysis of languages, to go beyond forms, and dig into what consciousness is. Through this, we seek the horizontal diffusion of the practice of dance

ORCHESTRA EUTHALEIA
The Euthaleia Orchestra was born in 2018 thanks to Valeria Ottaviani and Carolina Talamo, two professional musicians. Their drive arises from the desire to make music, spread culture and, at the same time, to share meaningful experiences with peers and the audience.
The name Euthaleia comes from the ancient Greek and it refers to the blossoming. The word encompasses the freshness of young artists united from their dedication and love for music.
