SAMPLES is a multi–disciplinary project, a lab space in which artists from the dance field, electronic music and media art are involved in a common creative effort to deliver a contemporary dance production in the urban space. The project reflects themes that are relevant to the contemporary urban space and its social mix. The process of “modelling” the urban context starts from the small daily rituals of the individual and goes all the way to group behavioral patterns that are recurrent in the social life of the city. Performances integrate sound, image and movement, involving direct and immediate participation from the audiences. The project was initiated in 2008 by AltArt Foundation Romania and was further developed in 2010 as part of an European tour including cities of Istanbul, Pecs, and Sofia.
