Tanec Praha, Lublin Dance Theatre, Lithuanian Dance Information Centre and The National Center for Dance Bucharest are looking for 10 Ukrainian dance artists to take part in Visiting Artists Programme.
The programme invites artists to visit partner festivals, stimulating artistic development, creative exchange and valuable networking. Selected artists will have the opportunity to visit diverse dance festivals across Europe, meet local artists, attend performances and gain inspiration and expertise as they progress in their work.
