Through its experiences of creation, production, diffusion, sharing and training, Don Sen Folo, has been specialising in the field of contemporary dance creation in common spaces (public space) In Situ / In Vivo. This choice of specialisation is the fruit of the following reflection and observation: to contribute to the development of the creative sector it must be ensured that Malian and African artists can train, inform themselves, learn, communicate and transmit their know-how and their creations in a space that belongs to all, a public space with free access for all citizens.

SPASA is an international two-week street arts training. Taking advantage of two important stage events that take place in the region of Lleida in a short period of time, four companies will perform for an audience interested in creating in public space. SPASA believe that street arts should be based on a theoretical and practical specialisation of their performers. Committed to a 360º vision of the sector, they want to work on the different disciplines that make up the street arts. In each edition of SPASA they delve into the practical work and tools used by different internationally recognised companies and professionals in the sector.
