Nomadic School 2026 – Open Call
Nomadic School is an alternative mentorship programme rooted in the Alps and artistic practice. Started in 2020, the school emerged around the Little Fun Palace trailer, nomadic and flexible architecture inspired by architect Cedric Price and theatremaker Joan Littlewood’s Fun Palace.
Created by OHT with the intention of fostering exchange among people and bridging the representational distance cultivated by art institutions, over the years Little Fun Palace has been lost in the landscape, giving rise to he Nomadic School and its interaction with the alpine territory. The nomadism of the caravan has become a geographical, artistic, and sentimental approach, capable of continually reinventing its models to foster a free, active, and interrelated environment of artistic exchange.
The school focuses on the concept of spatial creation—how performative arts interact with space both inside and outside the theatrical institution—and the intersection between disciplines, linking artistic practices to climate and social issues. We actively question what happens when performance is taken outside of closed, institutional spaces, and what could happen when uncontrolled and dynamic environments become factors or participants in the development of performative practices, as well as in other artistic areas.
