Least Common Multiple - A project from the Dancing Cities Network
Start date: May 1, 2011,

The LEAST COMMON MULTIPLE project explores the relationship between dance, public space and the audience of eight cities in six countries in a pan European and interdisciplinary perspective, through the development of theoretical and practical actions fostering intercultural dialogue and transnational mobility of cultural agents and products. The project aims to bring together curators, art organizations, dance companies, experts and academics working in the field of performing arts, visual arts, public space and site-specific works. In doing so, we would like to create a political, social and urban mapping of different areas of different European cities to open debates around the socio-urban development of contemporary cities. The theoretical basis for the project will be the development of focus groups on "Art (specially dance), public space and community" with experts of different backgrounds in the participant cities. Based on the discussions held, an artistic and innovative video dance will be produced in 4 different cities as well as a special edition of the Dancing Cities Magazine (including extensive information on the development and results of the project, working therefore as a promotion tool for it). The project also wants to address the traditional gap between contemporary art languages and non-specialized audiences, bringing dance closer to the community and facilitating its understanding. Use of ITC and new media will help in this objective by creating an online map where everybody could add and watch short dance videos in public spaces of the participant cities, as well as an iphone app to discover the European heritage through dance and the use of QR codes for artistic purposes.
