“The Visiting Artists programme allowed me to look into Italian contemporary dance closer. We spent a lot of time talking about the situation in our countries and also about our current works."

“It was a real pleasure to connect with other artists and see what other people are doing creatively. I really feel I got a sense of how things are working in the Piedmont Region."

Selected artists will have the opportunity to visit diverse festivals, meet local artists, attend performances and gain inspiration and expertise as they progress in their work. It will also offer artists the chance to engage with presenters and promoters, providing essential networking opportunities.
DDF is thrilled to open the 2022 Edition to the Big Pulse Visiting Artist programme which will see a group of artists from a wide range of backgrounds and training connect for 3 days of creative exchange. Led by DDF Artistic Director Jazmin Chiodi, the programme will include attending performances, visiting significant venues and sites within the city, engaging with key figures in dance in Ireland (presenters, artists), delving into valuable discussions together and sharing time together in a relaxed setting in the Festival Hub, based at Ireland’s national theatre, the Abbey Theatre.
