Read moreThe Atelier addresses art directors, audience relations experts and artists who are currently exploring the complexity of artistic processes adopted by dance houses, i.e. co-authorship and community-led creation processes. During the event, together with artists, cultural practitioners as well as leading citizens of communities from different fields (social, pedagogical, economic, health, etc.), we are going to adopt artistic and cultural tools to explore possible horizons for future audience development strategies.
