In the framework of the Creative Europe An Ideal City project, the MicroDances are in Reggio Emilia on 10-12 June.
In the past months some of the MicroDances were at the center of a process of reenactment: a transposition of the original versions for young dancers and public spaces aimed at the creation of an urban version that can interpret the spirit and characteristics of the three cities involved: Reggio Emilia, Athens and Brussels.
Find out more about reenactment here.
In Reggio Emilia, the 8 MicroDances that are the subject of the reenactment are immersed in an urban route that starts in the historic centre and stops at the Parco Innovazione on the northern outskirts of the town.
Protagonists of the performances are the young talents from the advanced training courses Agora Coaching Project and Studio XL.
In addition to the urban MicroDances route, other events are organised from 10 to 12 June to discover public art and the city itself.
An Ideal City | Reggio Emilia is curated by Costanza Meli.

URBAN WALK: artistic and cultural memory in Santa Croce. The innovative cultural approach of the urban walk shifts attention to the communities that inhabit places and the practices of using spaces and describing them; they are valuable resources for those who want to get to know an area in depth, to involve and integrate old and new inhabitants. Starting from Viale Ramazzini 33, we will discover some places in the neighbourhood that bear witness to and preserve traces and memories of a past dense with art and culture.
The urban walk is organised and led by educators and adults with fragility who are part of the STRADE project (Social and Occupational Area of Reggio Emilia and district) in collaboration with the CORESS Social Cooperative.
Max 20 people
