Dancing Museums is a European action research project designed to foster and sustain long-term collaborations between dance organisations, museums, universities and local communities to develop inspiring and long-lasting arts and cultural programs in which people from these communities want to get involved.
Mercat de les Flors is one of the structures participating in the second edition of Dancing Museums, and proposes the participation and complicity in this project to the Fundació Miró and the artist Quim Bigas. Bigas was working on the project in the period 2019-2021 within the framework of residencies and research at Joan Miró Foundation.
On December 4, 2019, we organized a workshop-meeting as a result of a collaboration with the Danish school KaosPilot through which 5 students from the CREATIVE LEADERSHIP program, together with Frank Nesi as facilitator of the process, were in Barcelona from October to December 2019 working on a pilot project of the Mercat de les Flors around ephemeral constructions, dance, architecture and thought.
Choreographers and architects participated in this workshop, and we worked on the possibility of a programming/festival around these contents.
You will find information on this website created by KAOSPILOT about this event and investigation:
Creation of spaces for meeting, experimentation and growth for Catalan and Chinese artists. The project with West Kowloon from Hong Kong lasted three years and involved choreographers Raquel Klein and Javier Guerrero from Barcelona, as well as Rebecca Wong and Mou Wei from Hong Kong. In 2021 we develop the third leg of this adventure.
