How can we create dance and performing arts scenes that are more diverse and that support the work of disabled dancers and artists?
This short film shows the third Europe Beyond Access laboratory, this time hosted in Maastricht with Holland Dance Festival.
Bringing together a diverse group of disabled dancers and performers from across Europe, we had an intensive week of workshops at AINSI in which we focused on developing new choreographic ideas and techniques.
The lab was hosted by project partner Holland Dance Festival whose programme DanceAble is the only major dance project for disabled artists in The Netherlands. Our third lab was led by UK artists Adam Benjamin and Jeanefer Jean-Charles.
Featured artists in the film include Giuseppe Comuniello (Italy, Oriente Occidente), Jo Bannon (UK, British Council), Maikel Walker (The Netherlands, HDF), Yesol Kim (Sweden, Skanes Dansteater).
The core partners of the project are British Council (operating for this project in the UK and Poland), Onassis Cultural Centre Athens (Greece); Holland Dance Festival (The Netherlands), Kampnagel (Germany); Per.Art (Serbia), Skånes Dansteater (Sweden), Festival Oriente Occidente (Italy). It is co-funded by the Creative Europe programme of the European Commission.
