Conference: Inclusive Processes Within Performing Arts

Danssamverkan Sydsverige is a collaborative group of performing arts institutions working to develop various aspects within production and development within the field. This day is dedicated to increase accessibility within the performing arts. The conference program will through experts in the field help you to dismantle limiting barriers, increase your knowledge, develop methods and increase opportunities for persons with disabilities to take part in the cultural sectors as audience as well as artists and artistic creators.

Danssamverkan Sydsverige works nationally to increase awareness of how much work still needs to be done. The five partner institutions are dedicated to artistic and social excellence, justice and universal inclusion, accessibility and accountability. We understand that creative potential is inherent in diversity. To challenge our differences helps us understand the complexity today's reality.
