EDN Atelier- Dancing on the Edge: Peripheral Practices
20/10/2022This two day atelier, hosted by Dance Ireland and Dance Limerick, will take place 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.
We invite artists, programmers, curators and cultural policy makers to join us in exchanging knowledge and models of practice; asking how the periphery can become the centre; how this could inform creative dialogue with communities and artists, and how we can produce and present work that is rooted locally and connected internationally.
How to participate as an EDN member?
EDN will reimburse a fixed amount of travel contribution (calculated here), 3 per diems at 30€ per day, book and cover three nights of accommodation for up to 7 EDN participants. Participation fee of 150€ will be invoiced to your dancehouse.
EDN members are invited to respond to the Travel Bursaries Open Call on behalf of their associated artists and other freelance professionals.
Please book your travel upon confirmation from the EDN office.
How to participate as a non-EDN member?
Up to 9 non-EDN members can join the Atelier. These participants will have to book and cover travel and accommodation individually.
