Overview

EDN - European Dance Development Network brings together 48 European contemporary dance organisations from 27 European countries sharing a common vision regarding the development of dance art across borders. Through capacity-building, networking, knowledge & skills exchange, research and advocacy actions, EDN contributes to the realisation of a more sustainable and inclusive European dance sector that creates positive impact for contemporary dance professionals and organisations, local communities and audiences, and society more broadly. EDN’s central mission, part of its new Creative Europe funded project EDNext, for 2022-2024 is to discuss, implement and promote sustainable ways of working in and with the contemporary dance sector by facilitating cooperation between European contemporary dance professionals, organisations, other stakeholders and partners. To this end, EDNext facilitates a space for exchange to address current themes and challenges collectively and promote the relevance of contemporary dance in societies.
