Producciones Teatrales Viridiana, with the sponsorship of IBERESCENA and the support of the Ministry of Ecological Transition, has an open call for residency applications from choreographers and dancers from member countries of the IBERESCENA community (except Spain) and whose artistic work shows an Afro poetics. The aim of the residency at Casa de García is to create a choreography that arises from the process of research and coexistence with rural women in Santa Eulalia de Gállego, a small town located in the province of Zaragoza. The residency will take place from 1 to 10 June 2024.
It is intended that each artist will experiment in the territory and create choreography through meeting and coexisting with the local female community. The topics during the residency will focus on aspects linked to the empowerment of women and highlight the similarities between stigmatised women, anywhere in the world, due to gender, race, or origin.
The resulting works, which will be recorded in audiovisual format, will serve as images for a videomapping work that will be the objective of Producciones Teatrales Viridiana in the next call for Creation in Residence 2025. The joint result of the residencies held in 2024 and 2025 will be exhibited in a rural environment in the La Galliguera region within the framework of the 6th Jorearte Festival, programming performing arts in nature 2025.
The artistic residency includes: round trip tickets from the country of origin to Santa Eulalia de Gállego, travel medical insurance, accommodation and food, and support from the project by the Viridiana Theater Productions team.
