Dénia joins the project 'Impuls a la Dansa'

February 16 from 2023 - 10: 12

Dansa València launched a pilot project in 2022 to decentralize and seasonally adjust the festival. Thus, 'Impuls a la Dansa' was born with the complicity of the Circuit Cultural Valencià (CCV) and the common objective of strengthening local creation not only in the city of Valencia and during the days of April in which the festival organized by the Institut Valencià de Cultura, but to promote it in different locations in the Community and throughout the year.

This week a balance of this first experience has been presented in an informal meeting at the Teatro Principal de València and the news of 'Impuls a la Dansa' 2023 have been announced. Both the political representatives and cultural programmers of the municipalities and entities participating in the last edition -Villena, Silla, El Puig de Santamaría, Aldaia and the Jaume I University of Castelló- as delegates of the five towns that are incorporated this year, among which is Dénia together with Aielo de Malferit, Borriana , Almassora and the CCCE L'Escorxador of Elche.

The councilman of Culture, Raul Garcia de la Reina, and the Dénia Culture technician, Maribel Font, together with the other municipal representatives, have been received by the regional secretary of Culture and Sports, Ximo López; the general director of the IVC, Abel Guarinos; and the assistant director of Performing Arts of the IVC, Roberto García.

'Impuls a la Dansa' consists of two lines of work: the training of a group of programmers from municipal stage spaces to bring them closer to the reality of choreographic creation that takes place inside and outside our territory and provide them with knowledge to that welcome these local creators in their municipalities and, on the other hand, the stays and paid mediations of Valencian artists and companies in the municipalities adhering to the program.

impulses 2023

In 2023 the project will be made up of 10 spaces: five of those already involved in 2022 and another five more newly incorporated. The coordinator of 'Impuls a la Dansa', Elba Torres, has confirmed the good reception that the initiative has had among the municipalities of the Circuit, commenting that by 2023 there have been five locations that have remained in reserve. The organization hopes to incorporate them in future editions.

This year there are six mediation stays planned with schools and groups, a modality in which Dénia will participate; two techniques and two creation. For training, LaGranja and L'Escorxador will be visited again, and L'Assut de l'Art (Castelló) will be incorporated as well as a state fair. Lastly, a meeting has been closed with those responsible for Pro360, the Catalan counterpart project.

The organization has planned a mediation action with the local public in each participating space, developed by DANZATE thanks to the collaboration of the CCV.

Call for artists

In order to cover the stays and mediations mentioned, Dansa València is going to open in the next few days a call for the selection of 10 projects that will be implemented in municipal public spaces with the participation of the CCV and the spaces involved.

This call is addressed to artists and companies that work in the areas of dance and movement arts and that develop creation and mediation proposals. The projects will have as their object the investigation, creation, rehearsal or technical production of a dance show, of movement arts and/or artistic mediation.

Elba Torres has positively assessed the reception of the call in the last edition, for which a high number of companies and professional artists appeared. “There were proposals from all the provinces and from different profiles, both emerging and more established, of which six became completed projects. The initiative meant that 18 professionals established other points of connection with the territory, with its different professional spaces and with its audiences”.

The bases of this year's call will be available soon on the website https://dv.ivc.gva.es/es.
