About Let’s Dance

In line with the European Strategy 2020 and believing that Culture can be a major source of jobs and growth, Let’s Dance aims to reinforce European artists’ capacity to act and interact in this global scene fostering innovation in the artistic, training and communication field.

The project will organise its contents around three main lines of action –

  • The Artistic Creation Lab
  • An Exchange and Mobility programme for young artists between European cultural institutions
  • An Audience Education and Participation Development Strategy

Aims 

To promote professionalization and expansion of employment opportunities for young artists, offering a complete training program that will combine artistic and professional development.

To develop an artistic project combining the Tanz-Theatre methods with that of Community Dance that will reflect on Migration and its impacts on European citizens, creating an original co-production that will improve young artists’ transnational capacities.

To foster innovation through an intensive use of ICT for training purposes, dissemination activities and learning and communication materials, facilitating access to cultural experiences.

To encourage young artists’ mobility through exchanges between European cultural institutions, facilitating their access to European artistic markets.

To promote greater inclusion of European citizens in cultural events, through the organization of participative Community Dance-Theatre performances and exhibitions, fostering audience engagement as part of the creative process.

To provide a socially inclusive program that will foster the community participation and artistic expression of differently-able people, and facilitate high quality accessible dance-theatre experiences for all.

To develop an audience education and participation program that will take community dance-theatre methods into Secondary Schools in different European countries, raising awareness of the opportunities available for young people to be involved in community and youth dance and theatre.
