Forging a link with an entity
B>Satellite
B>Satellite is the replica of the B>Meeting model but carried out in an international venue, thanks to the cooperation of various institutions that participate in the process of organization, logistics and adaptation of the program to their particular context.
BIDE co-organises B>Satellites in different countries reproducing the same B>Meeting event that is adapted and inspired by local contexts.
Through our 15 years of experience, this program is focused on internationalization allowing it to be a model exportable to other dance communities with multiple points of view; where inclusion, diversity, and differences; are the basis of our practices, development and political statement.
B>Satellites start with the cooperation of institutions willing to support the process of the organization of the event.
The starting point is forging a link with an entity that can provide the venue and from there we work on engaging a network of local realities. The event will, therefore, happen with the collaboration of different partners.
Historically, our B>Satellite is usually facilitated by a former BIDE participant (bider) that is willing to bring the concept of our B>Meeting to his/her city. In general, BIDE must keep a connection with former biders and engage them in the development of a B>Satellite. This helps the program to be adapted and connected to the local context.
B>Satellite tends to be a compressed version of the B>Meeting with a shorter duration and a smaller number of participants that come mostly from the country in which the event takes place.
Mobility and exchange are encouraged by a system of crossed scholarships that make it possible for former biders to take part of the B>Satellites and (becoming a guide for new biders), and for new biders to keep on attending following BIDE programs (becoming part of BIDE community).
BIDE had various B>Satellite, in New York 2017, Buenos Aires 2014, Salerno (Italy) 2013, Outokumpu (Finland) 2012, Sevilla (Spain) 2012, Stolzenhagen (Germany) 2011, Göttingen (Germany) 2010.
