From June 28th to July 2nd, Ana Macara and Carlota Machado are guests of BIDE - Barcelona International Dance Exchange, for the presentation of Quinzena de Dança de Almada at B>Meeting, a meeting between choreographers, dancers and cultural managers from twenty countries , in what is the central event of this initiative.
In 2008, Sebastián García Ferro, inspired by the experience of the ECITE (European Contact Improvisation Teachers Exchange) congress and the COLINA project (multidisciplinary artists meeting in Portugal) and with the collaboration of Ulla Mäkinen and Daniel Werner, decided to create the pioneer project BIDE - Barcelona International Dance Exchange. The aim was to connect dancers and choreographers from all over the world under the format of laboratories.
Based in Barcelona, since then BIDE allows artists interested in creative exchange and experimentation in contemporary dance to meet in a main event in Barcelona, as well as in the additional international programs.
BIDE is thus an organization that provides programs for creative exchange and networking between performing arts professionals worldwide, through a unique tool called B>Lab. In order to reach new networks and artists worldwide, it offers the following services and activities: B>Meeting, B>Satellite, B>Landing, B>Residency, B>Talk and and B>Net.
The participation of Companhia de Dança de Almada in the B>Meeting is supported by the Instituto Camões, through the General Consulate of Portugal in Barcelona.
