On April 27th, Beyond Front@: Bridging Periphery partners met in Budapest for the Kick Off meeting. Connections made from prior Beyond Front@ projects continue, building up on initial ideals.
Beyond Front@: Bridging Periphery is a Creative Europe project (2023-2026) created by Central Europe Dance Theatre – CEDT (Hungary), Bunker (Slovenia), Hrvatski institut za pokret i ples – HIPP (Croatia), Krakowski Teatr Tańca (Poland), M STUDIO (Romania) and Vitlycke – Centre for Performing Arts (Sweden) to foster local development of the contemporary dance fields.
Built on the previous project outcomes and practices, the new edition of Beyond Front@ focuses on the peripheral situation of the dance actors in the Central European countries, covering a wider range of partners. The three-year project brings together 6 partner countries (Sweden, Poland, Romania, Croatia, Slovenia, Hungary). All partners committed to fostering local development of contemporary dance production and all devoted to overcoming obstacles in their specific contexts by increasing mutual cooperation. Three main areas of action to be tackled in the project Beyond Front@: Bridging Periphery: collaborative strategies, capacity building and sustainable cultural production in the region. Its priorities are supporting training, greater synergies, and the enhancement of regional visibility.
