The alliance of the María Pagés Choreographic Center and the Fuenlabrada City Hall vindicates dance as one of the essential expressions of culture in Spain, while promoting research, creation and reflection on it. Assuming the responsibility that this implies, in a year still marked by uncertainty and the risks of the pandemic, the CCMP organizes the II Choreographic Residencies of Fuenlabrada, thus applying its founding principles that have as their sap the accompaniment of creators, especially emerging ones.

The program supports choreographic creation projects in all its disciplines, admitting multidisciplinarity. It seeks to promote dance, enhancing spaces for creation and approach to citizenship, through open rehearsals and samples of creative processes and meetings, both in the CCMP, as in the Josep Carreras Theater.

After the success of the first edition, this year the CCMP will host thirteen projects including 3 research, 3 creation and 3 technical residencies, as well as 4 projects within the Ballena category with a duration ranging between one and four weeks for each modality. The II Choreographic Residencies of Fuenlabrada do not consist only in the cession of spaces. Its principles rest ethically on a broader conceptual basis, integrating the accompaniment of artists, training, the defense of dance, mediation with new audiences and the necessary creation of community.
