NATURES’20

Main day with public: Sunday October 24th 2020
Organize: tragantDansa [educació i creació en moviment]
NATURES is a Festival that revolves around artistic proposals that dialogue with Nature, and specifically with the rural landscape of l’Alzina de l’Aguda, in La Noguera (Lleida). We intend to create stimulating meetings between Art and Nature. A space where to re-think and feel Art through Nature, and where to listen to Nature through Art.
Natures’ various activities will be divided between 3 appointments, 3 moments between September and October 2020:
- First appointment: dates to be confirmed. Intensive Workshop: Dance and Landscape.
- Second appointment: from October 25th to 30th 2020. Creation Residences.
- Third appointment: Sunday October 24th 2020. This day includes: Talk about Land Art, LanDance or related themes / Workshop on Land Art / Lunch with artists and public / Route of Artistic Interventions in the rural area / Concert and closure.
INFORMATION ABOUT THE OPEN CALL
The call is geared towards projects which the main axis is the body, the movement and Dance in dialog with Nature. We want to forge links between different artistic disciplines, primarly Dance and Plastic Arts, and a territory like that of l’Alzina de l’Aguda, where artistic proposals and art are not that present.
The proposals chosen, close to landArt and lanDance, must be performed specifically in the landscapes or locations close to tragantCamp, using all the materials and incentives of the environment.
In case you want to present ideas or projects already developed; it is necessary to adapt your proposal to the working lines specified in the call. The interventions presented in NATURES festival must be created during the Residency Program and specifically linked to the landscape of l’Alzina de l’Aguda.
It is necessary to explain, in your application dossier, why you are interested in working in relation to landscapes and how this is linked to your project.
NATURES’20 will also feature three visual artists, not included in this open call, who will also develop three projects during the same dates of residence and show the result in the NATURES’20 festival.
