UNIque@dance Professional Exchange Day

Within the framework of the public expert exchange day, the insights gained so far and the outlooks for further research were opened up and made tangible for a larger audience in various practical workshops.
In addition, a round table discussion of lecturers, representatives of dance academies, politics, scientific support, graduates of the M.A.D.E. program and other stakeholders took up and deepened the topics of the project such as access to dance academies, previous findings of UNIque@dance as well as discussions about dance, representation and visibility and invited all participants to an open exchange.
