The Hellenic Folklore Research Centre of the Academy of Athens is the forth partner to organise a series of workshops in Athens (Greece), from Thursday the 14th to Saturday the 16th of December 2023.
The aim of the workshops is to share experiences and knowledge about dance as living heritage of the 21st century and to meditate about the relation between dance ethnography, dance transmission and management in participative co-creative social contexts.
Inspiring examples will be presented in order to discuss sustainable models of interaction between dance ethnography research, dance educational programmes. In particular, sustainable models of interaction between dance ethnography research, dance educational programmes and dance cultural management practices as conducted in post-modern environments will be examined. Additionally, centred on dance as living heritage, focus will be given on regional and national case studies to explore the relationship between dance as living heritage, knowledgeability and sustainable development. Dance research and knowledge, dance experiences and practices, in relation to the post-modern framework of applicative cultural management policies, will be discussed. Thus, their importance for heritage communities and their heritage will be revealed. Moreover, recognising cultural heritage as an all-inclusive concept and emphasising on its importance as a socio-economic catalyser and as a powerful tool for sustainable development, the EU’s participatory policies and actions will also gain our attention. So, based on ethnographic examples, initiatives to progressively build a participatory, co-creational, transnational model of a community-centred dance cultural heritage management will be unveiled.
The workshops are free and open to the public, but registration is required. Everyone interested or involved with intangible cultural heritage and/or dance is welcome to join one or more workshops.
There is no registration fee, but registration is required via e-mail:
