On 21 June at Ponec, Prague, TANEC PRAHA will host a Moving Borders dissemination event.  Featuring the Ukrainian dancer and choreographer Yana Reutova’s journey, who is part of this EU cooperation project led by Aerowaves. In dialogue with Brazilian choreographer Clara da Costa, Reutova will share her insights on the project and present its publication. 

In 2023, Aerowaves (IE) together with Arte Sella (IT), la briqueterie CDCN (FR) and TANEC PRAHA (CZ) started to explore how female dance artists from Ukraine are informing approaches to welcoming and engaging refugees through dance, and in the development of inclusive and cohesive practices across Europe. As a consequence Moving Borders, a cooperation project co-funded by the European Union (Dec 2023 - Nov 2025) was conceived, and since that time the partners have organised international workshops, meetings (live and online) and dissemination events, as well as commissioning a publication. 

Moving Borders brought together a team composed of three female dance artists from Ukraine with a team of researchers. The Ukrainian dance artists are: Rita Lira (based in Paris, France), Anna Kushnirenko (based in Bassano del Grappa, Italy) and Yana Reutova (based in Prague, Czech Republic). The research team are: Karina Buckley (based in Dublin, Ireland), Luisella Carnelli (based in Torino, Italy) and Monica Gillette (based in Frankfurt, Germany).

On 4 June 2025 at Dance Ireland (Dublin), Aerowaves launched the publication of Moving Borders, which pivots around three viewpoints from dramaturg Monica Gillette, researcher Luisella Carnelli and dance writer Karina Buckley. Their contributions offer different perspectives on what was discovered, informed by their own professional trajectories and expertise.
