ABCDance

ABCDance: a new and contemporary look on the world of dance.

Bodies, faces, words, images, sounds, opinions, history and memories.

This is ABCDance. A project that stems from different experiences and necessities, with the goal of divulging dance: not only as seen from the point of view of the performers, but above all, from the point of view of the audience.

The project was put into effect with this blog which started off as a report from the 2014 edition of Operaestate Festival and will be developed as a “work in progress” reporting from dance festivals, with the ongoing contribution of artists and guests through interviews and reviews. The project’s goal is to make dance more accessible and understandable for the spectators, and hopefully make the audience grow.

Operaestate Festival Veneto is a festival that in the past thirty years has livened up Bassano del Grappa’s cultural life with more than 300 performances spanning from drama to opera, from ballet dance to music and art films, promoting and supporting young and emerging artists, new cultural languages and has offered many workshops and training opportunities.
The high quality of the events promoted by Operaestate and the atypical locations used as reinvented stages for the performances, have repaid the festival with a great success.

Operaestate is renowned at an international level for the two sections dedicated to contemporary dance and contemporary theatre, which usually are featured in the last part of the programme during B-MOTION Danza and B-MOTION Teatro.
Another pinnacle of the activities promoted by Operaestate, is the educational program that includes artist residencies that take place at CSC Garage Nardini.

 

Aerowaves logo

 

 

 

Aerowaves is a hub for dance discovery in Europe that identify the most promising new work by emerging dance artists and then promote it through cross-border performances. Aerowaves’ network of partners in 33 countries enables these younger choreographers to bring brand new dance to brand new audiences. Aerowaves began in 1996 at The Place, London as a small group of European dance colleagues brought together by John Ashford, then Director of the theatre there. He wanted to draw on their international knowledge to help sort through a pile of video tapes he’d received from young dance companies from all over Europe, and then present the 10 most promising short pieces at The Place Theatre.

Aerowaves now has partners in 33 countries. The network brings together the professional knowledge, personal insight and love for dance of 45 members. Each year in October, these partners vote for the next group of Aerowaves Twenty artists. This takes place at an intensive meeting where hundreds of videos are watched and discussed.

Communicating Dance is a European project which supports young choreographers and writers/journalists in the field of contemporary dance as future leaders in the professional dance sector.

With activities in the six partner countries Communicating Dance raised awareness of the different cultural working relations and contexts in Europe today and thus offers career planning within a European context.

By training young choreographers and writers in both shared as individual learning trajectories, Communicating Dance aims at strengthening the European contemporary dance scene, contributing to its competitive edge and visibility within the international creative industry.
