From the organizer:
6 – 17 November 2017, A Corner in the World X bomontiada ALT, Alt Akustik
“Moving Visegrad” contemporary dance choreographic residency is part of the 3rd Visegrad-Turkish Culture Festival that aims to promote the culture of the Visegrad region, including Czechia, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia. The year 2017 marks the start of an active collaboration with Turkey, a cultural exchange between the two regions by the means of art, more specifically dance.
Although the four Visegrad countries carry their own national and cultural uniqueness, the geographical proximity has created a common identity that they all share. The project offers a possibility to present these features in Turkey where the eastern part of Europe receives very little notice. At the same time, it gives an opportunity for Turkey to achieve more visibility in contemporary arts, almost unknown to the culture makers in Europe.
Throughout the two-week contemporary dance choreographic residency at A Corner in the World X bomontiada ALT the group of five dancers with the choreographer Evrim Akyay will open their doors to the public to give an insight into their artistic exchange and choreographic process.
