The European project modul-dance (one of EDN activities) has been developed to provide artists with support and to foster their professional independence from the creation of a show through to its production, presentation and dissemination. The aim was to provide optimum conditions as well as monitoring and guidance throughout the creative process.
The Mercat de les Flors Theater in Barcelona became the project’s leader, due to its close cooperation with institutions across Europe, as well as its experience in promoting young dancers. The project involved 14 European countries in joint activities, which meant that the modul-dance project could be developed on an impressively wide scale: the participation of 18 partners over the 4 years of the project resulted in more than 400 dance events – performances, premieres and workshops and discursive programs.
The project was set to specifically support the international mobility of artists and the consolidation of both local and international dance audiences. modul-dance also aimed to promote multidisciplinary creation through multimedia channels and to generate support for artists from institutions and new entities that support dance.
Additional tools that helped expand the programme’s content were, amongst others, conferences, festivals, discussion forums and parallel programmes in support of emerging artists such as Carte Blanche.
modul-dance’s main goal was to promote the trans-institutional and trans-frontier quality of European dance houses, thus strengthening the network of creators and promoters as well as dance show recipients.
The dance houses involved in the project were from Barcelona (Spain), Paris, Toulouse and Lyon (France), Loulé (Portugal), Dusseldorf and Dresden (Germany), Tilburg (Netherlands), Poznan (Poland), Stockholm (Sweden), London (Great Britain), Dublin (Ireland), Copenhagen (Denmark), Vienna (Austria), Athens (Greece), Nicosia (Cyprus), Ljubljana and Maribor (Slovenia).
