Prague, Nov 21 (CTK) – British-Australian choreographer Bridget Fiske will work with Czech Romanies and foreign immigrants and asylum seekers in the Czech Republic, within an international artistic project supported from the Creative Europe programme in 2014-2018.
Partial results of Fiske´s work with Romanies and immigrants will be shown in Prague´s Truhlarna Studio on November 30, and the complete performance in the last of Fiske´s three creative residences, Sibiu, Romania, in December.
Before Prague, Fiske´s artistic residence was Ljubljana in the first half of November.
In the three towns, quite different from each other, she has been working with selected communities on an intensive theatre and dance work named YES move. NO move (MOVED?)
The performance asks what is at stake if a community of people fail to accept others. It is a play on what attracts people to each other and what divides them.
During its Prague residence, Fiske will work with two groups – Romanies living in Prague´s Zizkov neighbourhood, and refugees or asylum seekers whom she will visit in the refugee facilities in Kostelec nad Orlici, east Bohemia, and Bela-Jezova, central Bohemia.
The four year Be SpectACTive! project focuses on active viewership, international creative residences of artists and a research study. It has been organised by eight European cultural organisations and three research institutes.
The Czech partner in the project is the Tanec Praha company that deals with contemporary dance.
