Join us at Big Pulse Reflections this October
You’re invited to attend Big Pulse Reflections, a two-day professional forum focused on the importance of European collaboration for the future of the dance sector.
As one of the partners of Big Pulse Dance Alliance, a vibrant network of 12 festivals and organisations dedicated to strengthening and expanding the reach of contemporary dance, we are delighted to invite you to join us at this engaging platform.
Taking place on 23 & 24 October in Turin, Italy during Torinodanza Festival, this encounter will feature a series of insightful talks, engaging panel discussions, and the official launch of the Dance Festivals Network Europe.
The opening day’s line-up will include an inspirational speech by choreographer and Big Pulse Artist Amala Dianor (Siguifin at DDF2022) and our very own DDF Artistic Director Jazmin Chiodi. Following this, we will have a panel discussion on “The Importance of European Collaboration for the Future of the Dance Sector” moderated by Jens Nymand Christensen, former Deputy Director General for Culture and Education at the European Commission.
The programme will continue that evening with the launch of the Dance Festivals Network Europe as well as presentations of two dance works. One of these works, Lapiz Lazuli by Euripides Laskaridis from Greece, was co-produced within the frame of Big Pulse Dance Alliance.
On the following day, further discussions, walks and talks will be held throughout the morning and afternoon, including a keynote speech by Georg Haeusler, Director for Culture, Creativity and Sport in the European Commission, leading to a final conclusion document to be sent to policymakers of the European Union and participating countries.

The event is co-funded by Creative Europe and promises to be a pivotal gathering for leaders and practitioners in the dance community.
