Visiting Artists Programme
European Dance Festivals and Organisations Unite to Launch the Visiting Artist Programme
A new initiative uniting 23 leading contemporary dance festivals and organisations across Europe, the Visiting Artist Programme is set to foster creative exchange, artistic development, and valuable networking opportunities for early and mid-career dance artists.
The programme offers selected artists the chance to immerse themselves in the vibrant atmosphere of Europe's top dance festivals, with access to performances, masterclasses, discussions, and networking sessions.
The first series of encounters will take place in May 2025, where 20 artists from across Europe will visit three partner dance festivals where they will have the opportunity to explore, share, discuss and broaden their artistic horizons.
These encounters are designed to stimulate artistic development, encourage creative exchange, and create valuable networking opportunities for participating artists. By engaging with diverse dance communities, artists can gain inspiration, share ideas, and build connections that will support the growth of their careers.
In the context of this programme, Julidans asked Neda Ruzheva and Ming-Jou Chen of Trevoga Collective to join at Croatia Dance Festival. Trevoga Collective is also a part of the Julidans 2025 line-up with their performance Xx_63, an explosive commentary on the spirit of times. They dive into the world of desire, seduction and the dark side of contemporary escapism. Find out more about Trevoga Collective and their performance here.
