10th Summer Dance Festival

The 10th site specific Summer Dance Festival of the New Movement of Dance Companies, Dancers and Choreographers of Cyprus will be held in Limassol from 21st to 27th of July 2013.

The Summer Dance Festival, one of the most important dance institutions of Cyprus, will celebrate its tenth anniversary with nine companies that will present their new choreographies, from the 21st to the 27th of July 2013 at the city centre of Limassol. Just like every year, this year as well, for a week, people have the opportunity to walk in the city centre of Limassol, remember old forgotten corners of the city, historical sites and buildings, which the artists take to ‘revive’ and to present them through their own eyes. They ‘delve’ into historical and social aspects of city life from the past and the present, presenting their views through contemporary imaginary creations.

Apart from its celebratory character, this year’s festival has a “themed chapter” concerning the “crisis” in any kind of form and meaning one wishes to comprehend and approach it with.

The choreographers have searched their spaces in the centre of Limassol, in collaboration with the association Active Spaces, with their primary aim, to exploit abandoned sites.
With this thematic line, the artists submit their comment in spaces that are “victims of the crisis” thus providing another dimension.
