In addition to the resident teachers(Irene Valesano, Jean Loup Gayrard e Nico Sanchez), each edition hosts a teacher of recognised international standing. For the 2026 edition, the third edition of the festival, the Guest Teacher is Laja Field, an international dance-theatre creator, educator and performer who works in the US, Canada, Central America and Europe.

MU. Festival will include several events open to the public, designed to encourage interaction between communities, artists and the local area: open-door lessons, a travelling performance that crosses the town, transforming the urban context into a diffuse stage, a jam session with live music open to dancers, performers and non-professional audiences, a moment of encounter between music, dance and nature with DJs

MU. opens up a space where we can move together, express ourselves freely and feel part of a community. A welcoming, inclusive and non-judgmental environment, where “we” means openness and mutual care, not boundaries. A place where you can feel at home, get involved, push your limits, share meaningful experiences and have fun.Respect, inclusion, equality and collaboration are the founding values of the project. There is no place for any form of hatred, racism, anti-Semitism, discrimination or prejudice within Mu.
