P
erforming Gender is a special project led by Gender
Bender Festival and Cassero LGBT Center on the
two-year period 2013-2015, together with Dutch
Dance Festival, Paso a 2 - Certamen Coreogràfico de
Madrid and Queer Season – Domino.
17 choreographers, performers and visual artists from 4
European countries (Italy, Netherlands, Spain and Croatia)
share a voyage of research, training and creation based
on the representation of sexual orientations and gender
roles in contemporary dance.
The aim of the project is to create works which tell of new
forms of contemporary identities to a broad European
audience, to overcome prejudices and to set up an open
dialogue based on differences. The starting point of
this journey is the body of the artist, seen as the proper
cultural medium to portray these new representations.
Workshops, residencies and meetings are challenging our
group of choreographers, dancers, performers and visual
artists to play with their identities, calling into question
certainties and stereotypes. At the end of this journey,
the artists will be asked to produce works to be staged in
established and renowned European museums.
P
erforming Gender è un progetto speciale di Gender
Bender Festival e Cassero LGBT Center, realizzato
in partnership con Dutch Dance Festival, Paso a 2 Certamen coreografico di Madrid e Queer Season – Domino.
Il progetto si sviluppa nel biennio 2013 – 2015 e coinvolge
17 artisti tra coreografi, performer e artisti visivi provenienti
da 4 paesi europei (Italia, Paesi Bassi, Spagna e Croazia).
Gli artisti condividono un periodo intenso di ricerca,
formazione e creazione basata sulla rappresentazione
degli orientamenti sessuali e dei ruoli di genere nella danza
contemporanea.
L’obiettivo è di creare opere coreografiche che raccontino
di nuove forme di identità contemporanea ad un vasto
pubblico europeo, per superare i pregiudizi e inaugurare un
dialogo aperto sulle differenze.
Il corpo dell’artista è al centro dell’intero processo, visto
come il mezzo culturale appropriato per rappresentare
queste istanze. Workshop, residenze e incontri con esperti
stanno impegnando il gruppo di coreografi, performer
e artisti visivi a mettere in gioco le loro identità e in
discussione certezze e stereotipi. Alla fine di questo viaggio,
gli artisti saranno invitati a produrre delle performance,
ospitate nei musei d’arte moderna e contemporanea
europei, partner del progetto.
