Madrid-Valladolid, September 2017. Madrid and Valladolid are the venues hosting the first edition of the LDC Festival “A place to share” between October 3 and 14, a meeting point to experiment and investigate that includes dance performances, dialogues with professionals from other artistic disciplines, creation and research workshops (for a diverse audience and for professionals) and talks-meetings with the public.
Organized by EnClaveDANZA in collaboration with ES.ARTE, this festival was conceived as a multidisciplinary, multi-age, and physically open space for diverse dance languages, encompassing international and cross-cutting themes. Artistic direction is by Cristina Masson (winner of the 100 Latinos Award for her career as a choreographer and playwright).
The companies presenting their pieces at this festival are: Compañía Gruppo e-motion – Francesca La Cava (Italy) with Garbage Girls; Alicia Soto-Hojarasca (Spain) with Estudio 3: Miradas; EnClaveDANZA/Es.Arte (Spain) with Marzo 10, NY – Silencio Blanco; and Compañía ZukDance (Spain) with NU2. Performances will take place in various venues: the Luchana Theatres and the Sanchinarro Cultural Centre, both in Madrid, and LAVA in Valladolid. These venues, along with the Manuel de Falla Hall (SGAE), will also host the other activities.
Garbage Girls is a piece that takes a poetic journey through trash, between the immanent and the transcendent, speaking of people condemned to live in desolation. Its creators, Gruppo e-motion – Francesca La Cava, is a company that emerged after the 2009 earthquake in L'Aquila and promotes cultural initiatives and development as a means of social regeneration.
March 10, NY – White Silence, by EnClaveDANZA and ES.ARTE, is a captivating multidisciplinary work that integrates dance, poetry, music, painting, video… and is based on the poetry collection of Jeannette L. Clariond. The work speaks of silence, time, movement, and creative existence.
Study 3: Miradas by Alicia Soto-Hojarasca presents a performance with a fusion of urban dance languages, break dance and contemporary dance, and questions how the gaze of the other, the crossing of gazes, influences us when we are spectators and/or protagonists, and plays with this by making the public participate during the performance.
Finally, ZukDance's NU2 is a contemporary dance and breakdance piece about the search for the integration of dualities: man and woman, hard and soft, black and white. An electronic musician, a singer, and two dancers meet on stage to intertwine.
