(Open for YDN Members Only)
4 online interviews to 4 dance curators/programmers/producers about their experience and practice in programming dance for young people.
With this series of interviews, YDN wants to put a focus on the practice of programming dance performances for young audiences. How do you choose a performance? How do you conceive the relationship with the audience? Are just a few of the questions that we will open during the interview.
We will invite 4 programmers to share their experience and their curatorial ideas about how they choose projects and formats, how they envision the relationship with the public and in general how each programmer makes decisions.
The series of 4 meetings has been taking place since March 2026; the two upcoming ones are:
19.05.2026 at 17h30 CET: Ulla Gad, Dansehallerne Copenhagen (DK)
02.06.2026 at 17h30 CET: Melanie Dumont, Co-Director of La Meche Courte Festival Montreal
All YDN Members can register to the events at the following email – youngdancenetwork@gmail.com – by simply writing “ATTENDING” and the date you want to attend. We will send you a reminder one day before with the zoom link for the event.
Each event will last 50 minutes, with 30 minutes of interview and 20 minutes for questions and dialogue.
We wait for you to meet, share, exchange!
