Shelter – Artist-in-Residence
Presented by the Cultural Office of the Embassy of Spain in Washington, D.C. and Company E, Shelter is a new virtual choreography residence designed to create new work and foster artistic dialog between Spanish and American dancers and choreographers.
Spanish choreographers Jesús Rubio Gamo, Elías Aguirre, and Spanish-based choreographers Isabela Rossi and Thomas Noone participated in Shelter, where they developed a virtual-specific work with dancers from Company E, a contemporary repertory dance company, dance education and interdisciplinary arts organization, based in Washington, D.C., emphasizing international collaborations with the great choreographers, dances and artists at work today.
