Performance Intensive 2026

17th Aug.- 23rd Aug. 2026

A Seven-Day Performance Intensive by APRE Art House.

Following the remarkable success of the inaugural Corpus Performance Intensive in 2025, APRE Art House is proud to announce the second edition, taking place 17th to 23rd August.

Corpus is an immersive, durational program exploring the body as archive, medium, and site of resistance. Through movement labs, critical lectures, and embodied experimentation, participants engage with presence, memory, endurance, and the evolving landscape of performance.

Our Commitment to Inclusivity

At APRE Art House, inclusivity is a practice of care and responsibility. We strive to create a space that welcomes participants of all genders, sexualities, abilities, socioeconomic backgrounds, and cultural identities, and resists structural barriers to participation.

We offer scholarships, access support, and flexible modes of engagement. Rooted in sensitivity and consent, the programme is designed to be safe and respectful for all participants.

Inclusivity, for us, is an ongoing process of listening, learning, and adapting to create a more generous and equitable arts ecology.

Corpus Scholarship Structure

APRE Art House is committed to fostering access, equity, and excellence in performance-based learning. To ensure that financial circumstances do not inhibit participation, Corpus offers a limited number of need-based scholarships to selected participants.

These scholarships may either partially or fully subsidize the programme fee and are awarded to individuals who demonstrate both exceptional potential and clear financial need. While the admissions process remains merit-driven, we are acutely aware of the systemic barriers that may shape access to embodied and curatorial education.

Applicants who wish to be considered for a scholarship should indicate this clearly in their Statement of Intent and include a short note (approx. 150 words) describing their financial situation. No additional documentation is required at the time of application.

We particularly welcome scholarship applications from independent practitioners, underrepresented communities, and those operating outside formal institutions.

Accessibility Note

At APRE Art House, we are committed to cultivating an inclusive and considerate environment for all participants of Corpus: Performance Intensive. While the programme is conducted in English, we encourage participants to inform us in advance if they require language support.

Please note that the gallery is accessible only via a staircase, it is located on the second floor. If you have particular access needs or would like to explore alternative forms of engagement, kindly reach out to us at info@aprearthouse.com. We will make every effort to accommodate individual requirements and to ensure that your experience with Corpus is both meaningful and supportive.
