EntreActes

In the performing arts, an intermission, or entreacto, is the pause between the two parts of a play. In the old dramatic performances, this intermission contained a spectacle that was markedly different from the main show: technically simple, adaptable, with a different tone and aesthetic, and conditioned by a series of limitations that demanded greater creativity. Many aesthetic and relational discoveries were made possible during the intermission (especially in comedies).

In keeping with this spirit, EntreActes is conceived as a space for displaying artistic proposals in a state of prototype, improvised actions, experimental, precarious, minimal, fragile live arts, which can be carried out in empty spaces or, rather, in exhibition in states of disassembly and assembly. 

Two editions were held throughout 2024, with a diverse programme that included concerts, dance performances, installations, invisible theatre actions, urban interventions and projections.

BACKGROUND

- A lot of internal communication and between work teams

- Organisational levels.

- Computer with office and graphic design software.

INGREDIENTS

1. Gather a team.

2. Organise the necessary meetings with the exhibition programming team, the installation team and the centre's communication team to work out a timetable and find spaces for programming EntreActes without putting extra strain on the teams.

3. Hold a round table discussion to establish the themes, approaches and lines of action, in accordance with the planned presentations.

4. Also, invite all other guilds, residents or artists to participate in the project. 

5. Look for potential external partners, according to the thematic focus of EntreActes, and manage your needs, schedule, budget and material. 

6. Coordinate the creation and rehearsal of planned actions.

7. Create the necessary graphic material and promote the project.

8. Carry out the planned actions and evaluate them

STEPS

It is important that activities can take place inside, outside and at the entrance of the centre, as a symbolic way of opening up the institution to its surroundings and inviting people from the neighbourhood to come in.

We recommend that migrant artists and artists from various disciplines be considered, in an attempt to build bridges between emerging and non-emerging artists.
