The objectives:

1. Create a positive environment and favourable conditions for Balkan contemporary dance to thrive in Europe
2. Develop a collective curatorial practice where co-working, co-creation and co-learning drive new organisational models and set an example for collaborative micro-politics
3. Reinforce the social impact of Balkan contemporary art and culture through dance, peer-to-peer learning, preservation of endangered and unsystematised dance heritage and systematisation of knowledge

3 main pillars of the project:

• Present the past: preservation of dance heritage through research, conceptualisation and presentation (exhibitions and digitalisation) enhancing digitalisation
• Reflect the presence: critical discourse and reflection on the social, cultural and market value of contemporary dance in Balkan society.
• Create the future: an eco-responsible way to provide good working conditions for artists and connect them to another context. The project pays particular attention to the underprivileged communities within the Balkan contemporary dance scene: women, LGBTQI and body diverse artists, practices and experiences are given priority.
