These centers offer all members of the community, regardless of their age and social situation, the necessary resources to meet their training, information, cultural and leisure needs.

From Madrid:
This program falls within the strategic plan of the Department of Culture, Participation and the Elderly, in the line of work for the promotion and dissemination of the performing and musical arts.
Its general objectives are:
The city of Alcorcón has a wide municipal network of spaces and socio-cultural facilities, endowed among others with seven civic/cultural centers. These infrastructures allow the development of different projects that have evolved since their creation based on the various needs and requirements that have been raised to meet the objectives of the cultural policies of successive legislatures. Thanks to them, the government of Alcorcón can consider a broad, diverse and future-projected cultural policy that optimizes the achievement of socio-cultural development objectives in different areas, which complement and feed back respectively. A current and future cultural policy that includes parameters of economic development, urban recovery and promotion of the city's image, in addition to the more traditional and obvious objectives.
The artistic residency programs are key tools for achieving the proposed objectives, within the municipal projects and in total coordination with the different programs for the dissemination, training and participation of municipal performing and musical arts.
The Artistic Residences project is distinguished and complemented by other collaborations with performing arts and musical companies that have been developing and will continue to do so, and that we can call technical residences. Understanding them as support for short periods, two or three weeks, to support the end of a creative process, more closely linked to the contribution in stage programming and, therefore, in direct harmony with the dissemination and exhibition programs. They have been carried out in almost all public theaters as a support for more efficient and effective production, which allows for more enriching and rational relationships between artistic creation and public theaters. However, artistic residencies are centered on processes, through relationships that are developed over a minimum period of two years and are linked to proposals for creating audiences and supporting creation, generally permeating the institution's cultural projects.
The artistic Residencies, we are going to concentrate on proposals that, due to their artistic, social interest and their complementarity and complicity with the municipal cultural policy, allow the growth of a medium-term project that facilitates the company to develop a process of artistic creation with certain stability and, at the same time, an evolution of intervention and communication with the city of Alcorcón.
Sponsored and supported by the Community of Madrid, within its program of Artistic Residencies for dance companies and through an agreement signed by both institutions, we have the artistic residency of this company, selected because it is a company that sets a very high standard. of artistic excellence, but they also understand that a project at the local level must find communication and meaning in the community life of the city that welcomes them.
It is a young company that was born in 2019, however, it is backed by the prestige and trajectory of its two leaders and choreographers: Iratxe Ansa and Igor Bacovich, who have been collaborating together since 2013. In 2020, Iratxe was recognized with the National Dance Award. The company, both creators, have established their residence in Spain, after having traveled the world and participated with the most prestigious international companies and choreographers. They already have a great impact at the national and international level, as well as a unique track record of the most important national and international awards and recognitions.
Their creative activity is masterfully combined with their facet as trainers and their community work, since both facets are integrated into their creative work.
The DESCUBRE DANZA Program, of which the activities of its second edition are being developed this year 2022, includes workshops, exhibitions in places other than the traditional ones, open days, exhibitions and a good number of activities that aim to bring contemporary dance closer to All public.

AMÁS FOUNDATION THEATER COMPANY
Making real and tangible the principles that, by law, must govern any public cultural policy and be its priority, forces us to propose as one of the great transversal objectives to all cultural activity that is proposed by the Alcorcón City Council, that of achieve a culture OF everyone and FOR everyone. In order for these words to be real and not to be reduced to a toast to the sun, specific programs must be established that propose as their main objective, to care for and promote, as necessary, the inclusion of artists who have had less visibility and participation. in cultural activity, such as artists with diversity.
Offering the possibility of establishing an artistic Residency project to the AMAS Foundation allows us to deepen the development of transversal programs that enrich the cultural activity of the city of Alcorcón, fulfilling the stated objective.
In its AMÁS ESCENA program, the cultural area of the AMÁS Foundation aims to train and include artists with functional diversity in the cultural and creative industry. We fully share your approach that the inclusion of artists with diversity in the creative industry is a fair and necessary step, from the perception of this diversity as an added value. The foundation's trajectory and its achievements, as well as the collaboration already begun with the Alcorcón City Council previously, deserves an exceptional and adequate capacity that marks it out as a perfect ally in achieving these shared goals and objectives.
