Message de REDE le jour mondial de la Danse 2011

En 1982, Unesco, à travers son Conseil International pour la Danse, a

choisi le 29 avril comme le Jour Mondial de la Danse, considérant

l’importance de cette manifestation artistique et le besoin d’être

reconnue.

En 2011, on célèbre par la 29ème année consécutive cette éphéméride,

en organisant divers événements, très diversifiés, en plusieurs

parties du monde. Dans un moment particulièrement difficile du point

de vue de la politique nationale et avec une crise économique

mondiale, REDE, association qui réunit 26 structures dédiées au

développement de la danse contemporaine et de ses croisements

disciplinaires, vient, encore une fois, attirer l’attention à l’énorme

travail qu’il faut encore faire au Portugal. La visibilité et la

reconnaissance de cette discipline, de sa spécificité, de sa pluralité

et le besoin urgent de la création de stratégies à long terme pour son

développement et implantation dans le tissu social du pays sont des

objectifs à atteindre.

La célébration possible en ce moment spécifique qu’on vit doit

continuer un travail de résistance et de production d’alternatives et

aussi rappeler, d’une façon synthétique, ce qu’on défend :

-       La danse doit faire part du plan stratégique et financier de tout

gouvernement, considérant les aspects spécifiques de son exercice en

tant qu’activité professionnelle et de son implantation dans

l’imaginaire et dans le tissu social du pays ;

- L’activité dans le champ de la danse, exactement comme en tout autre

catégorie professionnelle, doit avoir une régulation appropriée qui

permette veiller au respect et à la dignité des professionnels qui la

développent ;

- La danse doit être considérée indispensable à l’éducation d’enfants,

jeunes et adultes, comme capable de potentialiser le développement

d’une relation saine avec le  corps lui-même et avec les autres ;

 - La danse doit laisser aux générations futures une mémoire; sa

documentation et transmission constituent un patrimoine commun qui

doit être préservé et valorisé ;

- La danse doit être accessible à tous et mérite d’avoir un espace

régulier de présentation, d’expérimentation et de divulgation dans la

programmation nationale et internationale.

REDE’s declaration on World Dance Day 2011

In 1982, the International Dance Committee of the UNESCO founded the International Dance Day to be celebrated every year on the 29th of April, thus underlying the importance of this form of artistic expression and the need for its recognition.

In 2011, it is the 29th consecutive year that this event is celebrated, with the organization of several events, in diverse forms, in different parts of the world. In this moment of arduous political context in Portugal and in the middle of a worldwide economic crisis, REDE, which is an association that congregates 26 organizations dedicated to the development of contemporary dance and its disciplinary‑crossing art, is, once again, drawing attention to the enormous amount of work yet to be done in Portugal. The objectives we are pursuing are the visibility and recognition of this form of art, the awareness of its specificity, of its plurality and the urgent need to determine a long-term action plan, in order to develop and implant dance into the social fabric of the country.

The only possible way to celebrate this event, given the circumstances, is to pursue a work of resistance, providing alternative solutions, and also to remember straightforwardly what we stand for:

– Dance should integrate the strategic and financial planning of any government, having in mind the specific aspects of its performance as a professional activity and its deployment in the country’s imaginary and social fabric;

– The activity in the field of dance, as in any other professional category, must have suitable regulation that ensures the promotion of respect and dignity for the professionals working in this area.

– Dance should be an indispensible part in children, young people and adult education, enhancing the development of a healthy relationship with the body and the establishment of interpersonal relationships;

– Dance should leave a memory to future generations, and its documentations and transmission is part of a common heritage that has to be preserved and valued;

– Dance should be accessible to all people and it deserves having a regular space for presenting, experimenting and disclosing both national and international programmes.
