In Situ

July 6th-16th, 2026

Interdisciplinary Performance & Workshop Residency

In Situ is a small-scale, interdisciplinary residency for professional artists working across music, movement, theatre, and other performative practices.

The residency is work-focused and process-driven. While the environment naturally allows moments of rest and regeneration, the primary intention is artistic research, collaboration, and creation within a shared living context. Artists are encouraged to explore symbolic themes emerging from the place - including, but not limited to, elements associated with Art Deco - as open points of inspiration rather than fixed frameworks.

The aim is to foster a meaningful collective process: working, listening, experimenting, and composing short performative fragments that culminate in a semi-public performance.

DEADLINE MARCH 31st

The residency is process-led and project-based, with three important pillars, listed in order of importance:

1. Collective creation – working toward a shared, site-specific performance

2. Artistic exchange – workshops, skill-sharing, and interdisciplinary collaboration

3. Rest & reflection – deceleration, nature, and sustainable artistic rhythms

Artists are encouraged to arrive open, curious, and ready to both contribute and receive.

Participants: 10–12 internationally active professional artists, brought together from around the world, united by a shared openness to collaboration and a deep engagement with interdisciplinary creation.

Location: Villa de la Texonière (South of France, Limousin region)

Concept & artistic direction

Rooted in a site-specific approach, the residency treats the Art Deco villa and park as active partners in the creative process, inviting artists to develop site-responsive work informed by space, atmosphere, and sensory experience. Taking place within the context of the 100th anniversary of Art Deco, the programme engages with the movement’s architectural, cultural, and symbolic legacy through contemporary artistic practices.

The Art Deco architecture and landscape thus become a lens through which artists explore:

• deceleration and acceleration, industrialisation

• structure and freedom

• universalism

• Cubism and geometry

• travel and exoticism

• tension between nature and culture

• inside and outside

Time and space will be offered to share practices with the group, and participants may propose a workshop or share elements of their practice in different forms, such as movement or sound exercises, compositional tools, working methods, fragments of material, research questions, or informal demonstrations.

Rūta Raciūtė is a Lithuania-based artist whose practice moves between theatre, film, movement, and voice. She holds a BA in Theatre and Film Acting from the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre. Her stage credits include Šuo, naktis ir peilis (The Dog, the Night and the Knife), directed by Paulius Ignatavičius, and the performative work Kūno aidai (Echoes of the Body), created in collaboration with Dominyka Šeibokaitė and the interdisciplinary collective Five Skins.

On screen, she has worked in Lithuanian and international contexts, including Ammu (K. Nadzeikaitė), Young Wallander (Yellow Bird Film), and Weak Layers (USA), with international projects distributed on platforms such as Netflix and Apple TV.

As a voice artist, she has contributed to Lithuanian versions of titles, including Space Jam: A New Legacy, Clifford the Big Red Dog, and commercial work for brands such as L’Oréal Paris, Škoda, Renault, Samsung, and Nestlé.

Her contribution to interdisciplinary work lies in cultivating depth-oriented, embodied processes, grounded in attentive listening, ensemble practice, and a nuanced awareness of psychological and relational dynamics.

Dominyka Šeibok is a Lithuanian flutist and interdisciplinary artist working at the intersection of music, movement, and theatre across Europe and US. Her practice explores the physical and emotional dimensions of sound, treating the flute as an extension of the body in motion.

She has collaborated internationally with artists and institutions including choreographer Joachim Schlömer (L’Europe Sauvage, Switzerland) and the Heidi Duckler Dance Company (Ebb & Flow Festival, California). With her collective Five Skins Interdisciplinary, she creates immersive performance works combining live music, movement, and visual storytelling; their original score for the Ukrainian silent film Man with a Movie Camera premiered at the Wende Museum of the Cold War in Los Angeles. A graduate of the Hochschule der Künste Bern where she studied with Christian Studler, Dominyka is a first-prize winner of multiple international competitions and a recipient of a Presidential Honor of Lithuania for artistic achievements. She has served as Principal Flute at the Szczecin Philharmonic and currently performs as a guest with the Lithuanian National Philharmonic.

Louis de Boncourt is a French and Belgian baritone whose musical journey began as a boy chorister at the Centre de Musique Baroque de Versailles. He studies at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater Hamburg and is currently completing an exchange program in the United States in the studio of Constance Fee.

Equally at home on the operatic stage and the concert platform, he appears regularly as a soloist at venues such as the Hamburg State Opera, the Elbphilharmonie, and the Auditorium of the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium. His work has led him to collaborate with renowned ensembles including the Symphoniker Hamburg, the Kölner Kammerorchester, and the Hamburger Kammerorchester. Curious and versatile musician, his repertoire ranges from Baroque music to contemporary works, and he is particularly drawn to innovative and interdisciplinary projects. Operatic roles include Don Giovanni, Count Almaviva (Le Nozze di Figaro) from the classical repertoire as well as two world premieres. In 2025, he was awarded First Prize at the NATS Eastern Regions Competition (USA).
