Urban Dance to Enhance Women’s Security

Progetto
Cities have always been places of expression of male power. This is reflected, among other things, in the danger, real or perceived, of public spaces under the gaze of women [1]. Cities continue to be spaces for men. The non-consideration of women in the design of urban spaces reiterates a paradigm on which society is based: the exclusion of women from public spaces [2]. Despite formal recognition of equality, different groups based on ethnicity, religion, gender etc. they, are discriminated against forms of exclusion, making their full participation in public life impossible. From this perspective, it is necessary to influence the processes of social change by transforming views into political practices that make people, particularly women, safe and included in public spaces. This project intends to encourage the re-appropriation of public space for all women by activating the square as a dance device [3]. Through the choreutic practice of public space, perceived safety increases. According to the field of performance studies, grouped in the field of dance geography, visual art, and feminist legal studies We-Danse on the one hand analyzes the practice of dance performance in public spaces, the social implications and spatial justice associated with it, using a transdisciplinary perspective. On the other hand, the research explores how urban dance performances influence female citizens' perception of safety through public spaces. All this is always observed from two intertwined angles which are: geography, visual studies, and feminist legal studies. After a preliminary analysis of female insecurity in the city, of the role of dance performances in public space, the project examines the cases of Milan, Bologna, and Catania to understand to what extent the performances have helped or can help greater safety in cross-public spaces by women. We-Danse uses a dual perspective: 1. A research perspective, delving into dance practices as research [4] in the three cities mentioned above and their broad implications in terms of urban geography, visual art and feminist legal studies, mobility, safety, and performance; 2. a didactic and third mission perspective, sharing knowledge and practices with the citizens of the cities studied and in Como, with the students, through a summer school that combines dance performances and teaching in relation also to the objectives of Como Creative City - UNESCO. The ultimate goal of We-Danse is to promote women's safety in public space, tracking results and detecting theoretical critical issues in the field of geography, visual and performing art, and feminist legal studies. Furthermore, We-Danse aims to broaden the scope of current reflections on the link between women, security, public spaces, and performances by monitoring new performances embedded in public spaces [5] in which artists and citizens express themselves.
