TÀRREGA - CERVERA (CATALONIA / SPAIN)
From August 27 to Setembert 12, 2021
WHAT'S SPASA?
An international two-week street arts training. Taking advantage of two important stage events that take place in the region of Lleida in a short period of time, four companies will perform intensives of the subject for an audience interested in creating in public space.
We believe that street arts should be based on a theoretical and practical specialization of their performers. We are committed to a 360º vision of the sector and we want to work on the different disciplines that make up the street arts. In each edition of SPASA we will delve into the practical work and tools used by different internationally recognized companies and professionals in the sector.
