How can dance empower people? Artists and experts will be discussing this question during the Atelier that will be hosted during the Festival Le Grand Bain.

Drawing a connection to the European cooperation project Dance Well, including people with movement disorders or neurological diseases, the Atelier will also deal with questions of dance, care and well-being in our working conditions.

Each year, the EDNext project investigates important thematic topics relevant to the contemporary dance sector and disseminates the findings. In 2024, the project facilitates a platform to discuss and map the practices of care and wellbeing in the development of contemporary dance. EDNext is brought to you with the support of the Creative Europe funding.

EDN can reimburse up to a fixed amount of travel contribution (calculated here), 3 per diems at 30€ per day, and book and cover three nights of accommodation at ibis Lille Roubaix Centre for up to 7 participants. Priority will be given to EDN members and their associates. A participation fee of 150€ will be invoiced to the participant or their organisation.

EDN members are invited to respond to the Travel Bursaries Open Call on behalf of their associated artists and other freelance professionals.

Further participants can join the Atelier without receiving travel support. These participants will have to book and cover travel and accommodation individually.

Event: 28-29 March 2024, Roubaix, France

Deadline: 18 March 2024
