Carte Blanche Artist Exchange

Between August 18-21, 2022, CSC Bassano del Grappa hosted a Carte Blanche Artist Exchange. A 4-day exchange of artistic practices took place in the frame of the B.motion festival and was designed to build on the outcomes from the Empowering Dance Project by tracing the soft skills in dealing with unpredictability, flexibility, endurance, adaptations and creativity in the context of seasonality and climate change. 

The participants engaged with the artists and team of researchers of Empowering Dance and participated in sessions curated, guided and mentored by dance dramaturgs Merel Heering and Tyrone Isaac Stuart.
