Priorities

- Audience development

Project description

Aerowaves prides itself on its unique role as a connector between choreographers, dance programmers and dance enthusiasts across Europe.

Project objective

The goals of the platform include the discovery of emerging dance choreographers and supporting them to present their work to the audiences in Europe as well as the audience development through together and individual activities by partners in the platform.

Gained experience

We find Aerowaves is the most important platform in dance which enables us to share knowledge and news about artists, events and production practices in dance scene of Europe. It is also a community of dance experts that motivates us and inspires in rethinking the production models that we use in our own country.
