Dantzaz promotes
professionalisation in the dance sector
Since its creation in 2002, Dantzaz has been a platform for the projection and launching of artists linked to the world of dance.
Nowadays, it has become a rara avis that deepens its vocation to provide opportunities and accompany the artistic trajectories and processes of performers and choreographers who come from all over the world.
Dantzaz is employment
Dantzaz offers opportunities:
Choreographic performers
With a European and border-crossing vision, it seeks to establish alliances to provide opportunities and support for artists in the world of dance, nourishing professional careers and creative processes in different areas:
Repertoire. An opportunity to explore different choreographic styles in which one can work in a group and develop one’s skills as a performer.
Research and choreographic creations. Improves improvisation and co-creation and reflects on choreographic creation methodologies.
Choreographic production and touring. Develops group competencies, makes creative decisions and contributes to the production of choreographic proposals.
Outreach and community work. Collaborates in community dance projects, connecting dance with the community.
If you are looking for not only a space for dance, but also a community committed to your growth and development, we are eager to meet you soon!
Choreographers
Dantzaz has set up a network of allies that offer local and international choreographers various formulas for three or four annual production and creation residencies (lasting between 2 and 4 weeks), enriched with a process of artistic and management accompaniment.
-
If you are a choreographer from the Euroregion, go to www.atalak.dantzaz.eus.
-
If you are a choreographer living outside the Euroregion, consult this website’s ‘Dantzaz is creation’ section or contact us at artistik@dantzaz.eus.
Esta fórmula (inspirada en la acepción “boomerang”) permite que antiguos/as intérpretes de la compañía continúen en contacto con Dantzaz durante esos periodos de menor actividad profesional asistiendo a las clases abiertas y a las sesiones de entrenamiento periódicas que se programan en nuestra sede de Gipuzkoako Dantzagunea.
Además, se les da la oportunidad de participar en diversos proyectos de Dantzaz a través de contratos profesionales. Con este “status” se facilita también la creación de un ecosistema que nutre el intercambio de experiencias entre antiguos/as y nuevos/as componentes de Dantzaz.
To other professionals in the dance sector
In each production process (more than sixty artistic projects are proof of the company’s trajectory during its two decades of existence), Dantzaz hires costume designers, lighting and stage technicians, set designers and composers. In many cases, these contracts are formalised through collaboration agreements that the company has signed with various European cultural and educational institutions.
If you are interested, please send us your curriculum vitae and a letter of motivation to orok@dantzaz.eus, and you will be included in our database.
Mentoring: KABIDANZ
In collaboration with the local development agency of our region, Oarsoaldea, Dantzaz has created KABIDANZ, a coworking and mentoring space for entrepreneurship projects in the dance sector carried out by former members of the company and other users of Gipuzkoako Dantzagunea. This initiative promotes employment in the live arts (through advice and the promotion of new projects), through the support of development agencies (both in Oarsoaldea and in the Euroregion) and by combining tools and management models that connect the world of the performing arts and economic development.
If you want to present a project to be supported/advised in Kabidanz, don’t hesitate to get in touch with orok@dantzaz.eus.
