about the input session
This session is the second out of three public input sessions within the frame of the digital companionship programme: transnational contexts & relations, that is organised and hosted by Kreativ-Transfer, a project of Dachverband Tanz Deutschland and produktionsbande. In the companionship programme, one companion with transnational expertise supports one participant in the development and expansion of their own transnational working practice as a producer in the independent performing arts.
This session invites participants to reflect on why dissemination and distribution are essential components of their work. We will explore how to identify the right contexts for sharing your projects, and understand where and how these practices can create impact. Participants will discuss practical approaches to applying these methods, considering the materials, resources, and networks needed to be active in this area. Together, we will explore how thoughtful dissemination can elevate the visibility of work and contribute to a broader, sustainable practice.
