BY LA ETHNIC DIVERSITY
IN THE PERFORMING ARTS
WHAT IS HE
RACES PROJECT ?
The Edmond de Rothschild Foundations and the Fundación Teatro Joven have developed Premier Acte in France and La Joven Compañía in Spain, respectively: two unique youth theater projects of their kind on the international cultural and educational scene.
This project seeks to merge the experience of both foundations into a common mission: to promote ethnic diversity in the performing arts as a way to build freer, more egalitarian and supportive societies. RAZAS proposes a series of measures aimed at promoting ethnic diversity in the performing arts both in the stalls and on the stage. The project seeks to be a national and international benchmark, it is an initiative of urgent social need for the performing arts to reflect the diversity of current Spanish society.
If you are between 18 and 27 years old and want to join this mission, we are waiting for you at RAZAS
IMMERSION WORKSHOPS
because of the ethnic diversity in the scene
In collaboration with Casa Árabe, The Black View, China Cultural Center in Madrid,
Institute of Gypsy Culture and Madrid City Council
These workshops are the starting point of the RAZAS project and the gateway to the following workshops. During the months of January and February 2018, three independent workshops will be held, lasting two weekends each. The philosophy of these workshops is to bring together young people between 18 and 27 years old, of different ethnic groups and cultural backgrounds, with an interest in theater in order to work as a group on the stories and proposals that arise during the workshops._cc781905-5cde-3194- bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ Taught by Marco Magoa (immersion workshop coordinator), Andoni Larrabeiti (choreographer of La Joven Compañía) and with guest artists:
