AORCA SUMMER LAB comes from Seadance programs developed since 2018.
2021 is year 0 of the AORCA SUMMER LAB program designed to boost, value and develop artistic creation in contemporary performing arts.
In order to support and promote emerging contemporary creation, AORCA created a program of 7 creative laboratories in contemporary dance and 3 in other performative arts ( from 5th July to 17th September) with invited international and national artists. Aimed at emerging creators, professional artists, artists in the process of professionalization, art students who are attending an artistic secondary education aged +16 and non professionals with experience and interest in performative arts.
