“Choreographic encounters, a collective voice and a will for continuity”.

As women creators and leaders in the cultural industries, we are called to defend our creative and professional interests. Together we can better face the challenges. We are a community with great potential, but we lack group consciousness. This is where we see our detachment and our fragility. In the face of any claim, even in the face of any demand for social and institutional recognition, our individualism and dispersion reinforce our weakness and diminish our chances of achieving a minimum of dignity, which is what it is all about. “Choreographic encounters, a collective voice and a will for continuity”.

For this reason, the María Pagés Choreographic Center inaugurated its activities in 2019 with actions that aimed to promote twinning in dance. It was necessary to promote a space where we can meet, see each other, exchange opinions, feel our concerns and think together. Thus arose the International Choreographic Encounters of Fuenlabrada, whose objective was to promote dialogue between the creators, highlighting and making visible the choreographic reflection in feminine.

First edition in 2019, brought to life the Fuenlabrada Group CChoreographic encounters, a collective voice and a wihoreographic encounters, a collective

The first meeting in 2019, followed by another, marked by the pandemic, in 2020, made it possible for them to nurture the beautiful and powerful power of their essence and uniqueness as women and creators. They understood that they were much more like-minded than they could have imagined and their complicity could make them closer, stronger and more confident.

To give continuity to the spirit of the Fuenlabrada Group, formed in 2019, we proceed to organize the 3rd International Choreographic Encounters of Fuenlabrada. Being in the midst of a pandemic, these will be more necessary than ever.
