The project was based on regular, annual collaboration between the Polish and the American (Philadelphia based) dance community. Polish and American choreographers study visits (combined with residencies and research) aim to support the development of an artistic exchange of ideas and experiences between the two dance centers, as well as young artists seeking their own dance identity. The main focus of the stay of the American artists in Poland were June and July’s dance events, including International dance festivals (in Gdańsk, Warsaw and Poznań) providing an in-depth knowledge of the Polish dance scene, its various centers, meeting with a large number of local artists (both in the studio and as part of the festival presentation of their work), and the ability to offer visitors to lead workshops within one of the events, as well as provide them with the space for their own work (studio).
