Neighborhood

With the conviction that artistic creation is transformative, at Graner we develop our own projects to engage with the residents of our neighborhood, La Marina de Port, taking the language of movement beyond rehearsal rooms and opening new forms of relationship and dialogue through artistic practice and experimentation.

The Bacchanals are open dance and body training sessions for everyone, named after the neighborhood’s main festivities, La Marina. In these sessions, Los Informalls and other invited artists provide the necessary tools to move the body together and create spaces for community celebration.

Boombeta is a cycle of free artistic actions programmed by Graner every summer since 2017, open to the neighborhood and featuring proposals that engage both the center’s residents and other entities and collectives in La Marina de Port.

Family workshops for different age groups called Small Format, conceived as a space for play through body and movement, where both children and adults can enjoy various dance proposals, led by artists of Graner’s educational program.

Dance sessions for 13 and 14-year-olds to foster their creativity and confidence, led by artists of Graner’s educational program.

 

We want Graner to be a more porous space, where the community knows about and participates in the work developed at the center. That’s why we have created a calendar of activities to open our spaces and share artistic practice related to dance and the moving body.

History of projects developed in our immediate surroundings: the La Marina neighborhood, either impulsed by the center itself or in collaboration with the strong neighbordhood community and its spaces for visibility and artistic contexts.
