Over the course of two weeks, we welcome artist-in-residence Connor Scott with _Cat-Gut Jim_, a work performed in ancestral drag which invokes the immaterial presence of Edward Corvan, a renowned violinist and folk artist from Tyneside (1831). Connor appropriates E. Corvan’s archive for a ceremonial performative moment, creating space for a single-body duet while simultaneously summoning the ghosts of his own dance.

Durante duas semanas, recebemos em residência Connor Scott com o seu _Cat-Gut Jim_, uma obra executada em drag ancestral, invocando a presença imaterial de Edward Corvan, um renomado violinista e artista _folk_ de Tyneside (1831). Connor apropria-se do arquivo de E. Corvan para um momento performativo cerimonial, abrindo espaço para um dueto de um só corpo, convidando simultaneamente os fantasmas da sua própria dança.

With the aim of supporting independent artistic creation, this program hosts artists and collectives working in the field of dance or in areas of artistic intersection, both national and international, for a maximum period of two weeks.

Applications are accepted continuously throughout the year, and residencies are scheduled in our calendar on a first-come, first-served basis. Since their beginnings, the EVC have been a space where multiple languages coexist, directly meeting the needs of the artistic community.
