“Tersicorea / Officina delle arti tecniche performative, was born in 1989, as a permanent center for the education, diffusion and production of contemporary dance and theater. The artistic director is Simonetta Pusceddu who collaborates with choreographers, directors, writers, actors of the contemporary scene coming from the national and international territory.

 

Tersicorea through the years distinguished itself for its strong didactic / formative connotations and for its active commitment in function of the diffusion of a new pedagogy of dance and theater aimed to support young artists in constant dialogue with the consolidated realities throughout the territory international and extra European. In this context, Tersicorea and its theater space T.off guarantee opportunities for experimentation, research, comparison, intergenerational exchange and methodologies and poetics, through artistic and rural residences in the form of a "construction site", of which Tersicorea is a promoter in Sardinia and supporter since 1996. Since 2008 it has generated an international exchange network: Med'arte which supports contemporary artists from all over the world, with particular attention to emerging artists from countries at risk of peace or where civil conflicts are underway.

The project and the activity of reviews and festivals

Our commitment is the functional tool that allows circulation / mobility / hospitality and guarantees visibility, diffusion and free circulation of contemporary art in Sardinia which is part of a magnificent territory, a place of "resistance "and" cultural activism "in the Mediterranean basin. 

The aim is to support research through the identification of choreographic projects, to promote the meeting and comparison between artists who have different experience or backgrounds, creating an opportunity with the territory through training projects, seminars, production and co-production, artistic residences - interviews - shared dialogues, which are the intervention tools that truly guarantee direct and authentic contact with the whole community.

 

With authentic love for culture, stable destination of resources in multi-year projects, choices of artistic lines coherent with the identity of Tersicorea, the primordial goal as a social and environmental commitment is to strengthen the relationship with the community, to guarantee the mobility of works and artists in paths whose effects are reflected over time, and again, to ensure the visibility of works in transformation to be represented during the creation phases up to the maximum expression of their beauty and particularity.

The anthropological approach allows artists through a shared program to make visible their artistic path which thus "lives" in a context of comparison and intergenerational dialogue.

 

For a perception of a vast cultural dimension, the following projects developed: Danzarchitetture"; "Mitologia, luoghi e contemporaneità”; “Europa, culture in movimento”; “Archeodanza; “Danzainmovimento”; Rassegna “Opere sommerse – Festival “Cortoindanza”; “Danzaintrilogie” ; "Sulle orme"  ll Mediterraneo, il corpo, Il viaggio. Progetto interdisciplinare di danza teatro e arte circense.

 

Training activities “I cantieri itineranti” // “artistic residences”

Workshops, intended as experimentation with the languages ​​of contemporary / performative art, through the permanent action of artistic residences in the form of "building sites" for artistic training.

 

The prerequisite is concentrated in the construction of a real space for sharing and comparing good practices, increasement of skills, protection of creative paths and, last but not least, constructive dialogue between artists and the public, for the benefit of a systematic process of dissemination and education in the in the context of contemporary performance languages, a bridge with the territory that can suggest a dynamic idea of ​​cultural and artistic development.

 

Cortoindanza

Identification of choreutic works from: Italy, Portugal, France, Spain, Czech Republic, Ivory Coast, Scotland, Denmark, Germany, Poland, Russia, Egypt, Brazil, Tunisia, North and West Africa, Mexico, Armenia, Colombia.

Support for the production and mobility of a multitude of artists for whom the originality of cultural proposals was rewarded, a strong testimony of contemporary art in the world.
