The EDN Atelier “Dance & Resilience” in Prague will start on the afternoon of 10 April, following the Czech Dance Platform’s final discussion & brunch. During the three following days, the Atelier will propose a series of open discussions and workshops with a presentation of practices from Czechia, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and Ukraine.

Which initiatives have lately been developed to sustain artistic work in these countries? What are their working conditions really like? How do they go about creating safe and reliable spaces to work on topics that relate to difficult issues? What are the challenges that artists find most affecting in each country and what are the ways or strategies to cope with them?

Below you can find the complete program of the three-day Atelier EDN.
