Participation Guidelines for Performática 2014
Presentation
Performática: Foro Internacional de Danza Contemporánea y Artes de Movimiento will take place from April 20th to 26th, 2014.The event will be lodged in the Fundación Universidad de las Américas Puebla, and surrounding areas in the city of Cholula, Puebla, México.
Performática 2014 has four main areas of activity: Workshop, Performance, Class, and Theory Platform. The goal of the forum is the facilitation of engaged dialogue and collaboration between artists of all media with an interest in reflecting on the basic importance of their relationship to the movement arts.
Participation in Performática is free for everyone. There exist two modes in which you can participate in
Performática 2014:
1) As a participant in workshops and classes.
2) Attending performances, theory platforms, talks, parties, and gatherings which do not require a previous application. (For more information on performances and schedules please check back for the final programming calendar at the end of March).
Due to space and safety concerns, as well as to support the depth of interaction, and encourage a richer exchange in this year's event, we must limit participation for workshops and classes. To participate in workshops and classes you must apply for a space and be selected, before you will be able to register. We acknowledge that this idea may seem exclusive, but we are choosing this approach in order to conserve diversity and address the above mentioned concerns. We are hoping to gather a varied group embodying different histories with the movement arts, general aesthetic interests, and socio-cultural backgrounds.
About Participation in Workshops and Classes
Submitting an application to participate in workshops and classes implies that you are committed to attend the entire event April 20th through 26th, 2014. Once selected you may register for available spots in classes and workshops. You may register in 5 workshops (2 which meet Monday-Tuesday, and 2 which meet Thursday-Friday. Also, 1extended workshop on Saturday), As well, you may register in 9 classes which meet in the mornings.
Workshops and Classes will be facilitated by guest artists from Argentina, México, Puerto Rico, Switzerland, USA and more. These artists were selected through an application process which took place from September thru December 2013.
