For Crossroads #inhabitingtheworld we have selected four dancers from Italy, India and Poland who, through a path of artistic research, exchange of practices, performances and talks, they all will travel to other countries meeting new cultures. In selecting the participants for this project, the cultural and artistic background, the geographical origin, the aptitude for creation and intercultural exchange were taken into consideration.
A multidisciplinary artist has been selected for each local community of the extra-European countries involved who will accompany each choreographer in his artistic process, crossing their respective research paths and generating a new original creation.
Four different operators will follow the dancers and local artists in their path with the role of tutoring and mentoring, accompanying them in htheir residences and in their creative process and documenting the work in progress.
