Dialogues on the social dimensions of dance

PODIUM: MUTIGE SCHRITTE

Following an opening talk by Katarzyna Wielga-Skolimowska, Artistic Director of the German Federal Cultural Foundation, and Dr Carsten Brosda, Hamburg’s Senator for Culture and Media, cultural decision-makers from the federal, state and local levels will engage in discussion with experts from the dance scene. Three moderated dialogues will explore the social impact of dance and provide insights into working practices: from engaging with young people and visibility and structure in rural areas to ballet companies in urban society.

A concluding panel discussion with all the panellists will pick up on aspects from the previous dialogues and look ahead to the future prospects of dance.
