Marcus Borja has already been invited four times (in 2017, 2020, 2022 and 2024) to lead residencies for professional artists at the ARTA (Association for Research in Acting Traditions).

This one-of-a-kind place, that coexists at the heart of the Cartoucherie de Vincennes alongside five theaters including the legendary Théâtre du Soleil, celebrated its thirty years in 2019.

For the 2022-2024 residencies, Francesca Della Monica complements Marcus Borja and develops with him a fruitful collaboration around pedagogy and vocal dramaturgy.

“Stimulating discovery, encounters and mingling between stage practices from all around the world, ARTA opens the door to a different practice. Following Asian and Indian traditions, one must start by doing. First and foremost, make the body speak and express itself. Only through stage experience and meeting different people from around the world, one would get to knowledge.

“We want to reconnect with what has been the driving force behind European art theaters: offering oneself essential moments to stay aside, between the brackets of creations, in order to go back to school, back to search and research, back to imagination, back to freedom… Beyond the constraints of the show-making machine that haunted Copeau, it is crucial to avoid routine and embrace innovation by exploring new methodologies…” - Text from the ARTA website.
