Da Man
It is a collaborative project of AMARELO Distribución Escénica and Manu Lago and sponsored by the Xunta de Galicia through the Galician Choreographic Center to accompany a creation process of two emerging dance artists selected through a call.
The artists are accompanied during the process of creating a new piece through tutorials on administrative, logistical, artistic, financial content and any other topic that the specific process requires. During this support, you are given the knowledge and information necessary to carry out a professional production, search for residences and economic resources, sale and distribution of the show, networks and circuits and contacts, etc.
The objectives are:
-promote new artists in dance.
-promote the creation of our own quarry and languages.
-invigorate the local, national and international market.
