development programs
We facilitate & create in-between spaces for dance & movement professionals, and other creative & business industry professionals to experiment, share knowledge & exchange opportunities.
In light of the current context and the rapidly changing creative & cultural economy, our development programs address the increasing need for strategic actions to foster a more interconnected and adaptive ecosystem in dance & movement.
We work alongside key partners to create participatory, hands-on programs that enable professionals across industries, converging around dance & movement, to transfer skills & resources, accessing new territories of growth & sustainability.
