With this initiative, we want to offer dance artists a space to exchange about dance offers in support of people arriving in Germany from areas of conflict, including from Ukraine. This is a space to meet others working in this field, to ask questions, think together, to identify areas where you need support and to reach out to colleagues to hear about their experiences. You might be an artist who has recently arrived in Germany or who arrived long ago. You might be an artist wanting to support your colleagues who are arriving. You might be a dance artist making a creative offer for those who have recently arrived, or perhaps you belong to, or work alongside, communities who have been navigating the asylum system for many years.
After a short input, we will devote most of the session to the questions and themes you want to discuss, breaking into smaller groups so you can follow your own interests.
For this second event, Jo Parkes (associated artist at Aktion Tanz and artistic director of Mobile Dance) and Martina Kessel (Aktion Tanz) will be joined by nomadic academy (associated artists at Aktion Tanz) who will talk about their emergency residency programme for performative artists from Ukraine.
We take this opportunity to remind you of the publication created in 2015/16 (Tanzkunst mit geflüchteten Menschen) which offers impulses and recommendations crystallised from research with artists working with families arriving mostly from Syria in 2015/16.
The event will take place in German and English.
