Artistic Research and Dance Residency Within Raqs 3a Tayer (Dance Like an Egyptian)
Posted on
The BA Arts Center announces the First Artistic Research and Dance Residency Workshop, held within the Raqs 3a Tayer (Dance Like an Egyptian) project from 19 to 31 March 2012.
Over a period of 2 weeks, this first (out of three) preparatory phase gathers a group of 11 Egyptian professional contemporary dancers along with French Choreographer Sandrine Maisonneuve, leading to the collective performance Nobody Knows, everybody Knows to be presented in December 2012.
This research residency allows the dancers to implement a creative process, collecting material in relation to their personal heritage: ancestor’s history, stories, and memories, thus, opening a space for each dancer of the group to express themselves on an individual level as well as on a collective one.
