Dance Moves Cities meeting and creative lab in Riga
During 2014 Dance Moves Cities project have presented a series of residencies and events in Riga (LV), Terni (I) and Krakow (PL) where several international choreographers worked with local dancers exploring the context of dance in urban setting and developing new creations in public space.
Each city chose a different focus of work, adapted to local needs and interests. In Riga the project explored three different neighbourhoods through different artistic styles and proposals led by choreographers Koen Augustijnen (BE), Willi Dorner (A) and collective contact Gonzo (JP) with a strong contribution of Latvian dancers. The social, economical, geographical and emotional context of each place, the history, the architecture, and not less weather conditions, played an important role in the creative process and influenced the presentations to the public.
