We are very grateful to the Academy for granting us this very important recognition of our work. This medal belongs to the entire ASSITEJ Spain community, which, with its tireless and often under-recognized work, contributes to improving the situation of our sector every day and to defending the importance of the performing arts in the education of girls, boys and adolescents.
The Spanish Academy of Performing Arts is an artistic and cultural entity aimed at promoting, defending and dignifying the performing arts of our country, to encourage their national and international promotion, as well as to promote their progress, development and improvement. Founded in 2014, and having celebrated its eighth anniversary, the Academy is organizing, for the fourth time in its history, the solemn ceremony to present its Gold Medals and Distinctions of Honor. In the words of the president of the Academy, Jesús Cimarro, “the Spanish Academy of Performing Arts has established itself as a representative institution of the sector, which walks in pursuit of the recognition of the professional worth of its academics and, through them, of the excellence of the Performing Arts of our country.” Cimarro considers that, in this path, it is essential “to dedicate an official event, such as the Academy gala, to recognize the extraordinary work of creators, authors, artists and outstanding professionals in the different specialties that comprise the Performing Arts.”
