OPEN CALL FOR TWO DANCE ARTISTS from TAMPERE REGION TO JOIN
the RAIL2DANCE workshops and journey
In the workshop, the Rail2Dance artists will share ideas on the development and creation of physical interventions in public spaces- those that can be observed by audiences and those that encourage participation or interaction.
The core team members have been mentored by Anthony Missen, the artistic director of Company Chameleon, who has an internationally recognized expertise in this field.
