INSECTOS: ARTE Y VIDA
Film Synopsis: Insects have a life comparable to a dance: short, ephemeral and intense.
INSECTOS: arte y vida explores a constant search for harmony between the heartbreaking and the subtle beauty of what happens on the tiny, improvised stages of invisible nature.
SPAIN Dances, the dance program of the Cultural Office of the Embassy of Spain, is conceived to provide professional opportunities for Spanish dances and choreographers in the United States. The Choreographic Residency aims at fostering artistic dialogue between Spanish and American dancers and choreographers, and serve as an incubator for new or in-process work.
The host company selected for the 2021 edition was L.A. Contemporary Dance Company and the invited choreographers were Elías Aguirre, and Ruth Muelas as choreography assistant. This week-long residency November 29-December 4, 2021 with Aguirre concluded with a dance film directed by LACDC’s artistic director Jamila Glass, featuring the music of Jorge da Rocha.
