NOMAD believes that “all is education” and that through all projects and processes we have developed, we keep learning and sharing our knowledge. This is why we gather in Skopje, Macedonia, on 8th and 9th November 2012.
The event in Skopje “Nomad dance Advocates” strives to present pathways and understanding of partnership between art makers and policy makers, art making and decision-making, of the genuine collaborative work. In other words, we advocate for arts and culture through direct involvement with the decision-makers in order to cross the dominating gaps and abysses.
We are convinced that the mechanisms and working principles of cooperation determine the success of shifting in trends. The gathering we create intends to convey two important messages to the participants and the wider community in the region:
// Contemporary dance is one of the most vibrant and challenging arts fields in the Balkans and contributes to the recognition of the Balkan contemporary performing arts around the world. Basic conditions and long-term support are lacking and we risk losing our most talented artists to countries offering better opportunities.
We need your partnership to maintain this dynamic sector and to make this Region a leader on the European scene.
// We as the Balkan platformall on you to strongly support cultural collaboration and exchange in the Balkans by increasing the support to contemporary dance projects in your local, regional and national project budgets. In this way we will all contribute to strengthening of democratic, participative and open societies in our common region and invest in the long-term development of our social and cultural capital.
Nomad Dance Advocates invites you to:
- meet us on 8th and 9th November 2012 in Youth Cultural Center in Skopje, Macedonia;
- join discussions on territory-specific cultural policies, by attending the curatorial guided tours around the theme corners;
- engage in a dialogue about our passion – challenges and opportunities in arts and culture in 2012 at the Balkans and Europe;
- trigger your experience about contemporary performing arts with NOMAD and its partners at the Locomotion festival;
- think critically-debate – be innovate and create – produce and disseminate;
- slow down – observe – rethink - introduce – react – act;
- have fun;
- come, be inspired, help us to continue, change future.
