CALL TO PARTICIPATE IN THE FESTIVAL TODAY IS 2030

The 2nd edition of the Festival ‘Today is 2030’ proposes an international call for emerging artists to participate under the subtitle ‘Loving arts’. The aim of this festival is to delve deeper into the concept of love as possibility, attitude and form of resistance; acting as a force that generates links and alternative models to conceive social relationships that go beyond the mechanisms of power.
The present mood is that the positive outlook for the future has been compromised by a widespread trend of imbalance between overabundance and scarcity. Humanity reveals itself as a main destructive agent in a dramatic encounter between natural history and the history of mankind. We face, without a doubt, a new awareness of heartbreak. The festival proposes to mobilize different aesthetic vocabularies to interrogate the love event, and its relationship with the transformation of society and that of the Earth. Can we talk about love as a driving force for acts of courage and transgression to inhabit the planet in another way and, why not, eroticize it?
‘Loving arts’ is a call to thought and artistic creation: imagine waking up on an ordinary day, in the middle of 2030. You look around and you make a work of artistic creation inspired by other forms of love speech. The goal is to prove or prove wrong that a planetary democratic project is possible. 

The BETA PUBLICA Showcase is one of the BETA PUBLICA Association´s annual programes. It brings together choreographers from all over the world to share, using the social networks, their creative process with the audiences that will come to the 2 days of performances in Madrid.

The BETA PUBLICA Showcase is an opportunity to share with the audience your creative process previously to the performances. The BETA PUBLICA Showcase is not a competition and the 6 selected creators will receive the same Tech Rehearsal time (3 hours in a fully equipped theater) , an small stipend , a promotional video and 2 professional pictures of their performance. The Showcase is open to any variation of Contemporary Dance. The six selected pieces have to be no longer than 15 minutes and can be: work in process, final pieces or excerpts from longer choreographies.
