E-MOTIONAL Bodies & Cities
Start date: May 1, 2011,

E-MOTIONAL Bodies & Cities is a mobility and artistic exchange dance gathering artists and managers from six European countries – Romania, Cyprus, Ireland, Latvia, United Kingdom and Turkey. Clusters of artists and activities will be fed in during the two-year project aiming at creating strong cultural links between different dance communities. E-MOTIONAL plans to identify, nurture, attract and sustain talent and creativity at European level, by connecting artists and dance managers from countries participating to the project through mobility grants, residences, fellowships, artistic research and performance co-production and exchange. Professional development and artistic experiment represent pillars of the project. Participants are invited to learn, research, exchange, create and perform while interacting with new cultural contexts. The project can be seen as an interior continent and an emotional map, as well as a complex metaphor of the contemporary body, subject and object of communication, space for creativity, hub for new ideas and concepts as well as vehicle for cultural development. It represents an accelerator of opportunities for exchange and intercultural dialogue, moving people’s bodies and emotions into new cultural landscapes and contexts. In its very unique and innovative approach, the project is a concept-driven initiative that aims to mobilize talents and creative organisations towards a multi-layered European network in which artists, managers and audience are invited to share ideas and projects. The project encourages an active dynamics between artist and manager, placing them on an equal level at the heart of both project development and sustainable organisational growth. Through its important number of countries involved, participants and complex activities, the project represents an excellent contribution to a long-term development of local cultural scenes.
