TDP’20 international dance festival
2-11 October 2020
TDP’ sees dance as a language, a space of knowledge that needs to be shared. In a world where accepting diversity is a continuously growing issue, the TDP’20 Hotspots LAB is an international creative laboratory for dialogue and experimentation among dance artists. An embodied experience that enables and expands discussions on topics related to the place of our bodies in our societies.
TDP’20 Hotspot LAB is a transnational concept that seeks to open interaction with new physical spaces through digital media. The LAB aims to feed a contagious form of seeding cultural exchange, exchange of knowledge and experiences, despite COVID-19-related mobility restrictions and gathering restrictions.
You can discover here a series of videos made by the artist who lead the TDP’20 Hotspots LAB. These works are at the image of the LAB: heterogenous in their shape, theme, concepts and aesthetics, straight out of the hands of artists. The LAB is a space for diversity of visions, origins and experiences. These videos attempt to reflect this.

Dancing With Strangers: From Calais to England
TDP’20 Festival discusses with Rita Marcallo (Instant Dissidence) about her work Dancing with Strangers: From Calais to England. She exposes her experiences and the process of making this work.
We will also see extracts of streets performance. A woman on the street with outstretched arms, an experiences in which her t-shirt invites to ‘Dance With Me’. Would you accept her invitation? In 2016 she brought this project into ‘The Jungle’ camp in Calais, working with refugees to create duets that they wished to perform with people in England. Since none of them were able to cross the border, anyone accepting Rita’s street invitation will perform this duet with one of those refugees - through Rita and the exchanged gift of dance. Creating the link, she completes the connection between someone one the street, and the people who stayed behind closed borders.

Octopus - a digital experiment
Digital exploration of a section in the piece "The Ephemeral life of an Octopus"
Beyond the research of cellular dysfunction, the work questions behavioural, social and political dysfunction. It observes the invisible movements of living units, whose ability to move and reproduce, greatly impacts the whole they are a part of. It is the restoration of touch and the creation of a virtual cellular and social mass that is played with, in this context.

Cuando el bosque avance
When The Forest Thrives is a cinematographic art piece, filmed with mobile phones exclusively, and created from the retreated and precise distance to let our own nature be exposed during home confinement. In light of the strangeness and unrest of the lockdown, the clash between restraint and the wild, nature regains its place.
