ITHEC is a non profit organization based in Huesca, Aragon (North of Spain). ITHEC was founded in 1991. Our principal aim is to promote Performing Arts among children, youngsters and general citizenship. Since 1991 we organize Theatre courses, Modern Dance Workshops, Non Professional Theatre and Dance Festivals, Performing Arts summer Camps for teenagers. Our principal activities are: .- Theatre and Dance Courses: we manage the Municipal Theatre and Dance Workshops in several towns in our region (Barbastro, Huesca, Monza.

Around 300 children benefit our lessons. .- Theatre breaking barriers: we also work with disabled people in several assistance associations. We play theatre with people with mental or physical disabilities, and with people with less opportunities as gypsies. .- Theatre Performance Production in collaboration with professional theatre companies.
