Creating Proximity

Atelier at KLAP

Building on the experiences of the Atelier on Young Audiences in Hamburg in May 2019, this Atelier at Klap (Marseille, France) in January 2020 deepened the strategies for creating for and connecting to young audiences.

Creating proximity - 10-11 January 2020

Within the theme of Audience developement, EDN and KLAP Maison pour la Danse invited the participants of the atelier to explore practices and possibilities to create proximity in relation with the Citizen’s engagement and Young audiences.

How are our actions based in our specific territory the ground to develop the citizenship ?
How are our dancehouses a hub to build shared spaces?
Where are our responsabilities/needs and obstacles/difficulties ?
How can we renew our strengths by questionning our ethics and governance ?

This atelier was intended for local, national and international profesionals: directors, artists, curators/programmers, staff members working in PR and/or communication.
