Marta Bevilacqua

RESIDENT CHOREOGRAPHERS

THREE-YEAR artistic CO-PRODUCTION program in support of Italian choreography

Hangartfest directs its energies and resources towards a priority line of action tending towards a strategic goal which becomes the cultural and identity code of the event. This action develops from three years to three years and consists in offering stability to an Italian choreographer, that means the possibility of co-producing new works to be presented at the Festival. This action is a clear and declared sign in support of Italian contemporary dance.

The support action takes the form of providing economic resources, the hospitality of the company in residence in the days before its debut, and the premiere of the show. The action includes a second night show.

The presentation of new works at the Festival for three consecutive years also allows spectators to closely follow and monitor the creative path of the guest choreographer. An integral part of the support action is in fact the establishment of the observation (and monitoring) group called Occhi da Marziani , made up of passionate spectators, strictly not from the sector, who for the entire duration of the three-year project participate, with their alien gaze, to the artist's creative path. The group, coordinated by the collaborators of the Festival, is curated by the dance critic Silvia Poletti.
