1.-NEXUS EMGINE PROYECT: LA ROUS TEATRO, a Rosa Díaz Company
LA ROUS remains true to its own language and highest professional standards. Attention to detail, closeness, the pace of observation and the transcendental issues in life are the building blocks of poetry and professionalism.
Rosa Díaz will have 35 years’ experience in the field of Performing Arts in 2016. Her long, successful career is a point of reference in the theatre for children and youth. You can view her full CV in the attachment.
For the occasion, we are preparing a series of training projects for all stages of development in 2016-2017. In our opinion, it is essential to have a fresh approach to learning, interest and professionalism. We are working on the development of an interactive educational tool that will provide support during the school year so teachers and students can work on the subjects in each course in creative ways.
Another project born with the same intention is described in the dossier:
A cross-border channel for cultural exchange
La ROUS Company has the standing and experience to carry out a project, based in Granada, for a fluid channel of cultural exchange between Andalusia, Balearic Islands, Morocco, Tunisia and Malta. The project provides support for creativity, training and dissemination of Performing Arts in the partner countries via a programme of training workshops, artistic creativity residencies and premieres in Fairs and Festivals.
In the long term, the idea is to continue the same proposal every year and establish annual refresher courses, training and exhibitions so the arrival of cross-border proposals will be expected each year.

Issue
Identified as problematic, the islands have more difficulty to «get out » and more restricted the possibility of «bringing in» outside proposals . The result is the limited supply cultural and artistic impoverishment level based on the training and retraining as pillars of creation.
In the Arab world we find few means at management , infrastructure, organization and planning. The consequence of this reality is the failure to create programs solid and enduring over time that support growth monitoring and artists and their society.
Objectives
-Open Faithful and enduring channels of exchange and cooperation between Spain and the Netherlands Arab , geographically located in the western Mediterranean basin . -Create A mixed company ( the result of crossing cultures driven by Project LINK ) to turn your artistic project by project member Mediterranean communities . -Development Of audiences through open meetings between artists and audiences : work in progress . -To Continue the NEXUS program to be afinque and consolidate in the sector , so we can establish an annual gathering of recycling , training, production and exhibition internationally. -NEXO As an opportunity for growth and intercultural dialogue.
