Silvia Batet
Bio:
Silvia Batet studied the Professional Degree in Classical Dance in Valencia and the Higher Degree in Choreography and Interpretation at the Institut del Teatre in Barcelona. She is a teacher and yoga practitioner, and has also trained in urban dance under teachers such as Storm and Kanga Valls. In her choreographies, she combines different techniques to address contemporaneity. She won the Premi de Dansa de l’Institut del Teatre 2020 with her second work, OBLIVION; a piece that premiered in extended format at the Festival Grec 2021 and has been performed over forty times across seven European countries. In 2018, she was awarded the prestigious danceWEB scholarship for ImpulsTanz in Vienna. She has worked for companies such as La Fura dels Baus and has been a resident at choreographic centers including La Caldera Centre de Creació (Barcelona), La Visiva (Barcelona), La Roca Umbert Fàbrica de les Arts (Granollers), L’Estruch (Sabadell), and Fabra i Coats Fàbrica de Creació (Sant Andreu, Barcelona).
Residence:
This residence is part of the Mentorship Program of the Dance Impulse Plan. This program is part of the II Dance Impulse Plan 2023-2026, an initiative of the Department of Culture of the Generalitat in collaboration with the Associació de Professionals de la Dansa de Catalunya (APdC) and the Associació de Companyies de Dansa de Catalunya (APCDC). It is a professional development program that provides support and guidance in all stages of the value chain of stage creation.
Graner and La Caldera have selected two proposals from the Program to carry out a week-long residency and support them in relation to their own lines of work. In the case of Silvia Batet, a contextual residency has been designed in dialogue with two intersecting residencies that coincide in the same period and have followed the same roadmap for contextualizing the social artistic fabric, with conversations and meetings focusing on management and creation.
