CONTACT ZONES
Start date: May 1, 2015, End date: May 31, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Contact Zones is a multidisciplinary project: its aim is creating contact and interaction between performing arts, urban spaces / non-conventional venue and people. Contact Zones wants to contribute to the sustainable development of cities, generating “good pratice” of cooperation of art, urban spaces and people. The project will take place in spaces redefined by urban transformation – as pedestrian zones, squares, market, cultural centres, un-conventional venues – where it is possible to reach an enlarged new audience.Contact Zone is defined as the space in which transculturation takes place – where differents cultures meet and inform each other, often in highly asymmetrical ways. A Contact Zone allows people to interact between cultures and break the cultural boundary. When a contact zone is established, people are able to gain a new perspective because they are able to interact with people of different cultures. Contact Zone allows to improve the artistical proposal and to make it usable and available. Urban spaces, never used or through by performances and artists, will be completely renovated by the “use” of the artistic events. Urban spaces will be changed, transformed by artistical experience: historical centres, suburbs, parks, markets, boundary places or impoverished spaces can have another chance thanks to art.Contact Zones is a dialog, developped through different forms, aesthetics and experimentations, in order to build new visions and suggest unpredictable answers.
