IDOCDE

International Documentation of Contemporary Dance Education (IDOCDE)

IDOCDE is a project designed to develop and document best practices of contemporary dance education, to improve networking among contemporary dance educators and to increase visibility of this vibrant art form.
 
The 2 year pilot program is a network of twelve European dance educators who will meet regularly for exchange, peer research and for the development of an online database. The aim of the online database is to become a  useful tool for contemporary dance educators worldwide.
 
The meetings of these European dance educators and the database development will be accompanied by local workshops at each partner organisation for the benefit of regional key teachers. These workshops will result in a meeting of all 100+ key teachers at Ponderosa, Stolzenhagen (Ger) in summer 2012. The pilot program will culminate in a symposium during ImPulsTanz Vienna International Dance Festival (A) in summer 2013.
