The CRISOL – creative processes project was born in 2019 with the aim of developing shared work processes to promote the exchange of practices between Italian and international artists and operators, encouraging the meeting of cultures, visions and working methods, and activating transnational co-creation paths.

At the heart of the project is the idea of contributing to the internationalization of Italian artists and operators through creative processes focused on the exchange of practices and the encounter between different knowledge, disciplines, techniques and working methods and of developing collaborative processes linked in particular to dance, but in a dimension of interrelation with other languages such as performance, music and video art, and to the valorization of the body/territory/landscape relationship.

In the three-year period 2022-24 the project has developed residency and co-creation paths in Europe, Asia, Canada and Cuba, promoted by 7 Italian organisations and 8 international partners from Belgium, Norway, India, Macao, Singapore, Japan, Canada and Cuba.

Overall, the CRISOL project was divided into 3 macro-phases.
The first, which took place between November and December 2022, was dedicated to the work between the 7 Italian partners who, together with the international partners, defined the development lines of the project. The second project phase saw the development of 5 creative processes: Corpi Elettrici / Electric bodies, Digital India, elsewhere & elsewhen, Diorama, X around Asia, responding to the objective of redefining the practices of the Italian artists involved by encouraging the exchange of practices at an international level.
The third phase of CRISOL was the one that led to the creation of 4 co-productions in 2024: Les Scénographies-Paysages en Sardaigne, El resto del Naufragio, Chair/IL POSTO, Something not right. All four production paths were divided into one or more residencies in which Italian artists engaged in a dimension of co-creation with international artists.

At the end of all the creative processes, openings to the public were organized, both in the form of open studios and shows.
