Art as a tool for understanding the world. What’s Next in Romania in 2024
time of crisis, safe spaces, encounters, being & working together, rethinking ways to see the future, body practices, art should be able to help us explore the world, first move together and then know each other, saying so much more through dance than through words, shared experiences, trying to listen more, through movement – without talking – we are the body, feeling the connections, practicing attunement, communities based on care, we don’t have to be the same, who has the privilege to imagine future, survivor syndrome, body as a vessel, game of life
