Screendance International Residency 2015
August 12th to 19th, Centro de las Artes de San Agustín (CaSa), Etla, Oaxaca, México
Hybrid Communities consisted on a Screendance International Residency which lasted a week and brought together an outstanding international group of artists, researchers and screendance theorists. This Residency was supported by Coordinación Nacional de Danza del Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes (INBA) through Red Nacional de Festivales de Danza, Fondo Regional para la Cultura y las Artes Zona Centro, as well as Programa de Fomento a Proyectos y Coinversiones Culturales del Consejo Nacional para la Cultura y las Artes (CONACULTA) through Fondo Nacional para la Cultura y las Artes (FONCA), in order to accomplish the 7th edition of Agite y Sirva · Festival Itinerante de Videodanza 2015 in Mexico.
Hybrid Communities is as a proposal by the Mexican artists Ximena Rocha Monroy and Paulina Ruiz Carballido. It congregated a group of artists with the aim of exchanging and creating new practices and appliances on management, creation and analysis of screendance. Through this creative meeting, Hybrid Communities purposed to reflect and encourage actions about the current emergency to expand screendance in different contexts and spatialities, re-activating existing networks of collaboration, and opening a dialogue to create new strategies in order to position this transdiscipline in the expanded field of contemporary art. The Residency deepened in four creative-researching-management lines: 1. Curating practice, 2. Education and pedagogy, 3. Analysis and writing 4. Content and socio-political activism. The group released collective processes of self-organization to promote and strive issues and methodologies projected by the participants. The Residency group also, encouraged the reflection on screendance as a crossing of languages where screen, as a specific site, gesture and body are questioned facing the social, geographical and historical realities of diverse contexts. As a result of the Residency various materials were produced in written, audio, photographic and video formats.
