The 2012 - 2015 activities of keðja, the Nordic-Baltic EU supported project for the contemporary dance field was evaluated by Mary Ann DeVlieg and Judith Staines.
Nordic-Baltic partnership in contemporary dance
The keðja project has since 2008 been the vastest meeting platform for dance artists as well as educators, producers, scholars and academics, artists from other sectors and dancing youth to meet and address important issues within the contemporary dance field in the Nordic-Baltic region.
From 2012 to 2015, the partners organised several encounters, researches, mentoring schemes and more. The publication Fertile Ground (2015) offers an evaluation of these activities.
