The Centro de investigación y recursos de las artes escénicas de Andalucía (CIRAE)

The Centro de investigación y recursos de las artes escénicas de Andalucía (CIRAE) has been created with the clear objective of offering a public service in the area of the performing arts in Andalusia. Our main role is to investigate, collect, organise, analyse and distribute information and documentation related to theatre and dance in our region, and providing our services not only in Andalusia but also elsewhere.
It is also an important aim of our institution to maintain a historical continuity with the past: recovering and preserving our documentary heritage as well as keeping the current scene in the performing arts up-to-date.
The centre has became not only an important meeting place for professionals and researchers in the field, but also for the promotion of the performing arts to the public – in general by making our information sources available through internet and the use of new communication technology.
The centre regularly hosts professional workshops and cultural activities to promote the performing arts of our region.
The Documentation Centre of Performing Arts in Andalusia (Centro de Documentación de las Artes Escénicas de Andalucía) integrates the following sections:
• Specialised library that includes books, newspapers, journals…
• Audio-visual area
• Archive/Documentation section
• Research/Publishing section
The Centro de investigación y recursos de las artes escénicas de Andalucía (The Research and resource Centre for the Performing arts in Andalusia) is an organisation founded in 1991, being dependant and fully subsidised by the regional government of Andalusia (Regional ministry of Culture – Consejería de Cultura).
