"IDACO nyc" 2017 will focus on the theme
TransformAction, in an effort to draw attention to artistic responses to ongoing personal, social and political change. Our lives are defined by continuing transformation, by the constant reshaping of our circumstances. The act of making art is a response to this alteration/substitution. The actuality of becoming different drives our actions.
ITALIAN DANCE CONNECTION, "IDACO nyc," is a platform for Italian artists visiting and living in New York, and for New York artists who want to take part in a dialogue with Italian culture, exploring and sharing their unique paths through movement, choreography and the visual arts. "IDACO nyc" seeks to encourage networking and artistic research between multiple creative resources, cross cultural boundaries and offer an artistic platform while cultivating a sense of shared identity. The organization hopes to create space for new collaborations and offer a supportive, inspiring and creative environment for dancers, movers, performance artists, video artists, musicians, and all creative people interested in the "art of movement."
