Meeting Grounds: A gathering about contemporary performing art-thinking in/out Africa

This atelier offers a meeting with diferent artists in order to get to know and share the practices, thinking and themes surrounding creation on the contemporary performing arts scene today. 

The Mercat de les Flors and Graner have collaborated with the Africa Moment festival in its last four editions. This meeting, in the context of the Grec festival 2021, continues the activities devoted to reflection, dissemination of knowledge and artistic practices that we have hosted and developed together. The goal is to draw attention to artists and projects less in evidence on our circuits and make them accessible to the public.

This atelier also forms part of the lines of work of the EDN European Dancehouse Network project, of which the Mercat de les Flors is a partner, and it is intended to continue to develop the contact and dialogue with African artists that began with the meeting in South Africa in March 2020.

Collaborating and taking part in the event, which will feature discussions, panels and practicals, with a face-to-face and online programme, will be curators, artists and journalists, including Aïda Colmenero Díaz, Qudus Onikeku, Nelisiwe Xaba, Claudia Brufau, Antonio Tavares, Albert Khoza and Nadia Beugré.

This Ateleier is aimed at professionals from the field of dance, dancers, choreographers, journalists, programmers and other interested persons.
