EDN21: strenghten – impact – imagine

The EDN is a network for trust and collaboration between European dancehouses sharing a common vision for the development of dance art across borders.

Dancehouses have facilities for dance production, research and presentation, support for professional choreographers and dancers and a public mandate for independent artistic management. In parallel to their annual programmes, dancehouses organise activities for learning and participation and regularly engage with dance and related issues at a local and international level.

All members of the European Dancehouse Network collaborate to promote the idea of a diverse Europe, strengthen the relevance of dance and secure a sustainable future for the dance sector.

2017-2020 CREATIVE EUROPE PROJECTS

The EDN will develop a model of support involving three priority strands: strengthening professional practice, enhancing public engagement and progressing the network.

Carte Blanche will be a mechanism for dancehouse staff to visit other partners in Europe on a come-and-see basis, around 20 ateliers will help provide a deeper practical and theoretical knowledge of relevant themes, one forum a year will explore different ways of organising dialogue between members, artists, audiences and external experts and the EDN will investigate long term collaborations in North America, Asia-Pacific and Balkan countries.

During the period 2017-2021 the EDN will encourage the creative entrepreneurship of independent dance makers by adding to the know-how on artistic working strategies and methodologies to confront cultural, political and economic challenges, sharing data and information to develop new interest groups and by advocating for dance at the highest political level.
