The European Dancehouse Network continues its EU-funded EDNext 2022-2024 programme with the theme of equity explored through activities co-organised and hosted by EDN members in 2023.
EDNext 2023: Equity
European Dancehouse Network is happy to announce the first activities in 2023, opened to both EDN members and dance field professionals (artists, producers, curators, researchers and others). Below you can find the list of activities. For more information, please click on the links in the text.
The Atelier is hosted by Dance Ireland and Dance Limerick and will take place on 9 and 10 February 2023 during the What Next Dance Festival in Limerick. Throughout the two days participants will explore, through discussion and practice, what it means to be on the periphery; geographically, culturally and socially through the lens of creative, community and curatorial dance practices. For more information click here.
La Briqueterie will host an EDN Atelier within the 22nd edition of the Biennale de danse du Val-de-Marne on 22 and 23 March 2023. It will revolve around themes such as equity, human rights and freedom of expression. How can artists and professionals seize the principle of equity in creation, in their relations with the public and in international collaborations? There will be space for both EU and non-EU perspectives, artistically and beyond. For more information click here.
Dansateliers and ICK Artist Space will host an EDN Atelier in Rotterdam and in Amsterdam from 17-19 May 2023, linked to the Moving Futures Festival. The two members will collaborate for the programme on the theme of equity. More information will be announced soon.
EDN members are invited to register for the EDN General Assembly & Think-In, hosted by EDN member AREAL | Space for choreographic development together with Centre for Projects Timișoara on 27 & 28 June 2023 in Timișoara, Romania. This year’s GA & Think-In will take place in the European Culture Capital, one of the epicentres of vivid cultural happening in 2023. During the two-days meeting, the network members will have an opportunity to share the most important news from their dancehouses and local environments, take part in the voting process for new members of the network, and take active part in discussions on the yearly EDNext theme “Equity”. More information will be sent to EDN members via hidden link.
From 22 to 26 May 2023, Lavanderia a Vapore will host a Carte Blanche Artist Exchange, a 4-day exchange of artistic practises. During Carte Blanche, participants will explore EDN's annual theme of equity looking at systemic barriers set by prevailing ableism. Led by disabled artists, we aim to open spaces where they can raise their voices and shift our gaze from disabled bodies to the disabling conditions that limit experiences and opportunities. Starting from artistic practise as a space for reperforming alternatives and expand the spectrum of possibility, we aim to heal social scars and harvest learnings that can stimulate and inform cultural policy and the political sphere in general. More information will be announced soon.
EDN offers its members the opportunity to visit other dancehouses; an opportunity for peer-to-peer learning, an informal insight into production and artistic processes, a new know-how and knowledge. EDN members can choose to visit another dancehouse in person or to be connected with their peers online via a matchmaking process with the EDN Office. For more information click here.
On the first Friday of every month from 10-11am CET, a member of the EDN Board of Directors will host an informal coffee meeting online for teams from all member dancehouses. This is the time and place for EDN members to get to know each other, discuss a topic close to their hearts and share their ideas.
Seventh edition will continue presenting both emerging and established names of Nordic contemporary dance and choreography.
