Open Latitudes

The project

Noted from the outset for their geographical proximity and their affinity for how to properly accompany the artists, six European partners have gathered in Open Latitudes in order to defend the very existence of hybrid scenic forms coming from dance, and to acclimate more largely the audience to those innovating works. All partners contribute financially to the establishment of an annual ‘joint fund’. It is a fundamentally European co-production input, which benefits the supported artists. Shared among several partners, residency periods for more than 140 days during the lifecycle of the project, do complement this production process.
Each partner organises visibility periods for the works developed along the season. Over time, they have become known as moments of discovery for curious audiences, and they play an important role in the way the audience can appropriate and further understand contemporary forms.Wishing to leave tracks, our project is also having a look at the recent history of hybrid performing arts in Europe. We wish to demonstrate and archive the trails of this scenic innovation, through video recordings of a dozen interviews of critics, art historians, choreographers, researchers …
Along meetings, artists and audiences develop a relationship made of discovery and exchange, which constitutes a real intercultural dialogue at the European level.
