The DANCE CHANNELS proposal promotes a unique collaboration between Contemporary Dance Festivals, whose main aim is to design a training process for the development of Contemporary dance companies from different environments, as well as to promote the mobility of Contemporary dance companies in order to stimulate them artistically and to share new techniques and tangential disciplines at a European level. It will conclude with an exhibition of the pieces created during the creative process. Contemporary dance in urban landscapes cooperates as a vehicle of social construction and artistic expression, decisively contributing to an increase in social and intercultural dialogue.The project will last for 8 months and will involve 3 main participants from Spain, Italy and the UK, all of which combine both cultural and educational fields and are involved in the contemporary dance world (local authorities, cultural foundations, contemporary dance companies).The intermediate goals are: On one hand; European Mobility of Dancers for their professional development. Through this program, dancers companies will be received in a host countries for two training weeks where are advised and assisted by a local choreographer of worldwide renown, and on the other hand; each company and dancers will create a piece in the residence that will be performed in the dance festival into the public space with the purpose also to value the architectural heritage of the cities.In order to ensure the sustainable of the project we will create a platform which helps to search opportunities for the accomplishment of agreements with networks and circuits to organize tours for the pieces composed in the project and creating opportunities of new creations and providing labor opportunities to the artists to European level.Finally, the festivals and exhibitions will be promotion activities themselves aimed at involving a wide public as main actor.
