PROJECTem: accompanied collective creation

It is a proposal to accompany a creation in group format. The objective is to create a stable group of between 8 and 10 performers who want to work on the creation and exhibition of a piece for 12 weeks.

This proposal is born from the desire to offer a space for meeting, growth and inspiration to the interpreters who are part of it. One of the main objectives is to offer participants tools and learning that have to do with a professional projection in performing arts through practice and the achievement of a creative project.

PROJECTem wants to increase the perspective of the possibilities for professional development and promote self-confidence for independent scenic creation through experience, as well as mutual support and collaboration between dance professionals, as it is a group project.

The meetings will be twice a week, with a total of 6 hours per week for 12 weeks, in sessions that will consist of a training part and a creative part. The decisions of scenery, costumes, music, production, tour management, etc. will be taken by the participants themselves, who will distribute the tasks to be carried out. For this reason, it is necessary that participants commit to being involved throughout the whole process. On the other hand, it must be counted that there will be approximately two hours a week of personal work, to do research or meetings with the group.

The coordination and support to the creation of the project will be carried out by Gisela Creus, who executed a similar project for two years in the United States, Contemporary Dance Ensemble, where a total of 20 people participated and 3 pieces were created that were shown in different festivals and theaters in the city.

What do we offer?

• Entering into a creative process in a space such as nunArt, a creation center.

• The possibility of working, meeting and collaborating with other dance professionals.

• A serious and rigorous work dynamic, in a space that is formative while it has a professional approach.

• Enjoy professional accompaniment and be part of a collective project.

• A global experience of creation, management and production of a piece, which will provide tools to be able to do it independently in the future.

Selection of participants

The trajectory and training will be valued, as well as the motivations and interests expressed in the motivation letter. It is not necessary to have completed a professional training or to have previous professional experience, but it is required to have a solid advanced level training in contemporary dance.

Likewise, the commitment and responsibility of each participant with the project and with the rest of the people who will take part during the proposed 12 weeks, as well as attendance at all sessions, is essential.
