Collective call for contemporary dance: 300 artists submit a memorandum to the Ministry of Culture

On March 2, representatives of Romania’s contemporary dance community submitted a memorandum to the Ministry of Culture, written and signed by over 300 artists, choreographers, cultural workers, and supporters of the independent scene.
This memorandum, written and signed by over 300 artists, choreographers, cultural workers, and supporters of the contemporary scene, stems from a real emergency, but it speaks to something that concerns us all: access to culture, artistic diversity, and a possible future for contemporary dance in Romania.
The initiative is the result of a public meeting organized by the National Centre for Dance Bucharest (CNDB) on January 29, attended by representatives of the community and Mr. András István Demeter, Minister of Culture, together with Mr. Bogdan Trîmbaciu, director of the Project Management Unit within the ministry. The memorandum summarises the conclusions of that dialogue and proposes concrete measures to consolidate and stabilise the sector.
