ChoreoRoamEurope
Start date: May 1, 2011,
ChoreoRoamEurope will bring together nine international choreographers per year, chosen by the partner organizations in their territories. The choreographers will experience residencies, workshops, research seminars, presentations of their work, debates, meetings with local scenes, in five Member States of the EU (Croatia, Italy, Spain, The Netherlands, United Kingdom). Choreographers will research, share, challenge and review their work together in secure environments, under the guide of prepared experts, stimulating their working practice through a dialogue across cultures. Geographical displacement and mobility will generate stimulating meetings and confrontations with diverse cultures, territories and artistic scenes. During the residence, a visual artist and a writer from the host country will be involved, and they will follow the creative process and will develop a documentation. Each residence will be concluded with a presentation, open to the public, on the specific and unique works developed by the nine choreographers, with the aim of creating an immediate confrontation-meeting with the local community and artistic scene. For the occasions representatives of the partners organizations will meet in each hosting country, they will present the project to the local dance scene and to the audience. They will facilitate feedback dialogues with the audience after the presentation of the nine dance works. They will monitor the implementation of the project and share feedback with the participants and among them. The writings will be collected into a single publication per year, including interviews, good practices and texts written by writers who followed the actions, in the languages of the countries involved and translated in English. The work of the filmmakers and the results of the choreographic research works, will be published in a DVD which will have the widest possible international circulation, together with the publication.
