Migrant Bodies is a project created in partnership between Comune di Bassano del Grappa (Italy), La Briqueterie - Centre de développement chorégraphique du Val de Marne (France), Circuit-Est (Québec), The Dance Centre (British Columbia) and HIPP The Croatian Institute for Dance and Movement (Croatia).Today the whole of the western world, and not only, is traversed, physically, by a population without nationality or territory, which in itself, in its numbers, appears almost as big as a continent: the population of migrants. Migrants for hunger, for war, for fear or for choice, all of them carry on their bodies, their territory. The continuous journey widespread, and from some points of view uncontrollable of the migrants, builds a network of cultural and physical connections which expands to every part of the planet.Migrant Bodies uses artistic and cultural tools to open up a civil reflection on migrations and thecultural impact and differences they bring, seen as sources of values and richness for the whole European and Canadian societies.The project does so by inviting 16 artists (6 choreographers/dancers, 5 writers, 5 visual artists) from three European countries and two Canadian provinces to carry out two years of research on migrations and the social and cultural changes that migrations generate in local societies, in order to produce works to be staged in established and renowned venues, or in site specific locations, and to portray new forms of identity of the migrant bodies to the wider possible audience.This research is opened up in several ways: by community meetings, meetings with immigration communities, communities of migrants, audiovisual outputs touring among the partner cities, a web platform for artists and critics. A final international symposium and the Migrant Bodies online catalogue of the project, which will collect the documentation of the experience, evaluate and disseminate the final outcomes of the project.
