What is the Manifesto Poetico Residency?
Designed for colleagues and former students who have been working previously with Manifesto Poetico in our Open Laboratories, TransPoetico Productions and Workshops, the MANIFESTO POETICO RESIDENCY is an opportunity for solo artists and small companies of up to 5 performers to come to the mountains north of Madrid to rehearse, workshop or create new works.
If you are interested in developing new theatrical productions in a supportive, creatively-enriching environment, or simply want to reconnect with the Manifesto Poetico team in a beautiful setting, one-on-one, consider applying for our Residency.

PAST RESIDENCIES
"The Manifesto Poetico Residency was nothing short of incredible! Having the chance to hone my craft in such a beautiful environment was a gift to my body, mind and soul. The serene mountains, lakes and rivers created an environment for meditation and artistic contemplation. I had the chance to work one-on-one with Carlos and to grow as a solo artist through daily rehearsal and exercises, tailored to my needs as an actor. I can't wait to open my solo show, that was developed during this residency, in the coming year. If there's any project you want to work on, this is the place to do it!" (September 2024)

“The Manifesto Poetico Residency in the mountains of Madrid was a vital experience. Everything an actor can dream of, having Carlos exclusively working with you, opening your mind and awakening your creativity as only a few can do. But the place... A cabin in the middle of the Sierras de Madrid, surrounded by forests and streams, nature in its maximum splendor. It has exceeded all my expectations. Thank you, Carlos, for having created this refuge of art and nature and letting us share it with you.” (October 2024)
