What is happening?
ATLAS is a gathering of teaching artists with the purpose of exchanging knowledge in the field of contemporary dance. Victoria P. Miranda, from Madrid, Spain, will join us for this second congress . ATLAS will also congregate Puerto Rican educators who have visited the most important contemporary dance stages in the World, and who will be teaching in the San Juan. ATLAS is the combination of both performances and workshops, happening in a period of 4 days (November 2nd through 5th, 2023)

How you can help?
We want to ask you to collaborate by contributing to our project. The artistic performances will be open to the public, in order to promote both contemporary dance and tourism in the San Juan. Among our needs is to cover the costs of renting space, and production. In order to continue contributing to the growth of contemporary dance teaching, it is important that we can compensate our collaborators, artists and educators. In order to internationalize pedagogy on the island, we will have Victoria P. Miranda as a guest. We need to cover the costs of air transportation from Madrid, visa, and accommodation in Puerto Rico.
This type of project are only possible to the extent that we receive external help, and this is why we urge you to consider making a donation. Other ways to help include volunteering, establishing partnerships, making non-monetary donations, or distributing information about ATLAS by sharing this page. Your contribution allows us to continue the artistic education of the country by creating art.
