Croma - Contemporary Practice Center

CROMA is a center for contemporary practices located in the center of Montevideo, Uruguay. The space is coordinated and managed by a group of women dance workers and is proposed as a platform for the practice and professionalization of emerging artistic production. We convene ourselves as a training and experimentation center that, taking the practices of the living arts as a guide, intends to think about and enable various possibilities of contemporary creation. CROMA proposes to grow together with the network of students, practitioners, self-taught artists and workers of contemporary artistic practices, building a space that enables and promotes the study of the body and movement together with local artistic creation in a collaborative, reflective and experimental way. Through CROMA we ask ourselves what ways and strategies do we need to generate to self-sustain a space dedicated to the creation, learning, work and professionalization of the emerging live arts in a moment of crisis, in a territory where being art workers is a great challenge.
