Dance within Civil Society Contexts
It is no coincidence that the panel discussion “Dance Within Civil Society Contexts” takes place in Gdańsk in the European Solidarity Centre. Gdańsk – the City of Freedom and openness to diversity is the first city in Poland where the Council for Equal Treatment and the Council for Immigrants and a model of their integration were created. Gdańsk also sees dance as one of the tools for building a society rooted in tolerance and solidarity and having relations based on respect for differences. The speakers invited by us will present methods and tools for working with social and ethnic minorities and disadvantaged groups; these methods and tools enable, through dance, to integrate these groups into a broader public discourse.

Roberto Casarotto (IT) / Migrant Bodies
Efva Lilja (SE) / independent expert
Aurora Lubos (PL) / independent artist
Sue Shroeder (USA) / CORE Dance

Networking for Dance
The globalisation of the contemporary world opens up opportunities for artists to undertake activities in new areas, both geographical, artistic and social. Functioning in networks is both a possibility and a necessity. It allows for further development, promotion and exchange of experiences in different contexts. The forms of networks that will be presented in the panel discussion are based on various ideas and perform various functions. Their existence and continuous morphing indicate the important role of combined models of co-operation.
