EDN recently welcomed four new members to the network. Our new members are dance development organisations, representative of their local, regional and national scenes. Their work revolves around continuous care for the career development of dance artists and other professionals. They offer dedicated space, time and conditions for research, creation, and presentation of work, and respond to situated contemporary contexts through socially minded curation and practices. They engage with citizens, and with local and international communities, co-creating a public space for encounters between movement creators, facilitators and audiences.
