EUROPE UNSTABLE: ISLANDS IN THE NET
Start date: Jun 1, 2011,

Nowadays in Europe, everything is subject to change, to mobility, to the exchange of people, concepts and products, to the point that we find ourselves facing the dissolution of the borders in time and space that traditionally characterized the old continent. In this context, it is necessary to emphasize the importance of mobility for the development of a common European identity on which political, economic and social integration are founded. These ideas are the basis of our proposed project. Basically the long term aim of our project is the creation of a European Network of Theatres and dance and theatre Companies (Islands on the neetwork)to promote the mobility of professionals and set an alternative theatre & dance programme in order to break spatial boundaries using the perspective of new dramaturgical tendencies. We want our project to be the beginning of a European database of related theatres, art spaces and companies that share information, artistic aspirations, professionals and infrastructures taking the body as the engine of the performances.To achieve these objectives we have designed different activities:Firstly, we wish to put together a series of four productions based around the theme of "identity" that later will tour the other participating countries. Following completion of the tours, we plan to organise a festival in Valencia where all the participating shows will be performed. Throughout the project, before each production and in each host country an external professional will run a workshop which will be attended by the directors of all four performances, and to which local theatre school students will be invited. Based around the general theme of identity, the workshops will aim to find a common artistic language between the four directors. In addition, the project will have its own website and we also plan to launch a magazine covering the project's activities and reporting on the performing arts in Europe.
