The alliance of the María Pagés Choreographic Centre and the Fuenlabrada Town Council vindicates dance as one of the essential expressions of culture in Spain, while at the same time encouraging research, creation and reflection on it.

Assuming the responsibility that this entails, in a year that continues to be marked by uncertainty and the risks of the pandemic, the CCMP organises the 2nd Fuenlabrada Choreographic Residencies, thus applying its founding principles that have as their sap the accompaniment of creators, especially emerging ones.

The programme supports choreographic creation projects in all its disciplines, admitting multidisciplinarity. It seeks to promote dance, encouraging spaces for creation and bringing it closer to the public, through open rehearsals and exhibitions of creative processes and meetings, both at the CCMP and at the Josep Carreras Theatre.

After the success of the first edition, this year the CCMP will host six projects that include 2 research residencies, 2 creation residencies and 2 technical residencies, with a duration of between one and four weeks for each modality. In addition, we continue to support young talents with the creation of the category Whale Projects aimed at young creators in search of spaces to create, research or perform.

The 2nd Fuenlabrada Choreographic Residencies are not just about providing spaces. Its principles rest ethically on a broader conceptual basis, integrating the accompaniment of artists, training, the defence of dance, mediation with new audiences and the necessary creation of community.
