Sol Picó está trabajando en su próxima pieza, un proyecto colaborativo sobre la mujer contemporánea. Este nuevo trabajo parte de una pregunta: ¿Por qué la aportación de la mujer en los ámbitos de la dirección y de la coreografía contemporáneas tiene tan poca visibilidad?, ¿A qué se debe el olvido histórico de una parte fundamental de su contribución artística? ¿Por qué desaparece su legado?, ¿Por qué, en definitiva, caminos ya recorridos tienen que abrirse de nuevo? Y quizás, la cuestión fundamental: ¿Por qué en tiempos de corrección política en los que a las mujeres occidentales se nos recuerda constantemente que tenemos igualdad de oportunidades todavía surgen estas preguntas?
Como dice Ana Abad en su tesis doctoral “Coreógrafas, directoras y pedagogas: la contribución de la mujer al desarrollo del ballet y los cambios de paradigmas en la transición al s. XXI”, publicada en 2012:
“Parece como si, siempre que una mujer empieza una carrera que no está asociada a su género, se convierte en una pionera, a pesar del número de mujeres que ya habían ocupado esos puestos con anterioridad a lo largo de la historia.” (Ana Abad Carlés, 2012)
Sol Picó quiere profundizar en estas cuestiones planteando una reflexión colectiva junto a una serie de artistas escénicas de muy diferente naturaleza y contexto.
Esta reflexión se hará mediante un encuentro entre artistas, entendiéndolo tanto desde el ámbito puramente físico -desde la piel - en la sala de ensayo, como desde la inmersión en la cotidianidad de cada una y aquellos espacios conversacionales que sin duda se crearán.

Sol Picó is working on her next piece: a collaborative project on the contemporary woman. This new work is based on a reflection on the reasons for the invisibility of women’s contribution to the fields of contemporary artistic direction and choreography. What are the reasons for the historic forgetfulness of a fundamental part their artistic contribution? Why does their legacy disappear? Why should paths that have been travelled before have to be trodden again? Why when others have paved the way, should we have to do it all over again?
Finally the fundamental question seems to be why are these questions still asked in times of political correctness when we, as Western women, are constantly reminded of the equality of opportunities?
As Ana Abad points out in her doctoral thesis ‘Choreographers, Directors and Pedagogues: Women’s Contribution to the Development of Ballet and the paradigm shifts in the 21st Century’, published in 2012:
‘It seems that every time a woman starts a career which is not associated with her gender, she becomes a pioneer despite the number of women who had previously held those positions /no matter how many women had previously held the same positions throughout history.’ (Ana Abad Carlés, 2012)
Sol Picó aims to delve into these questions by inviting an eclectic group of scenic female artists from different walks of life to participate in a collective reflection on these issues.
This reflection will take place in different ways and settings via an encounter between the different artists, be it in a purely physical setting, such as the rehearsal room, or in the immersion in each participant’s daily life, or in a ‘conversational space’ that without any doubt will emerge within the group.
