Tanec Praha International Festival of Contemporary Dance and Movement Theatre is one of the biggest events in the Czech Republic. The festival showcases diversity and quality of the current foreign and domestic dance scene, gives space for experimentation and crossover with other genres, and supports the emergence of new works as co-productions.

Here, I’m the Project Manager of Let the Body Speak - a project run by UA Dance Platform in partnership with The Place, to celebrate and support the work of Ukrainian dance artists since the war started in Ukraine in February 2022. The Place and UA Dance Platform have partnered up with Tanec Praha to offer an exceptional opportunity for six Ukrainian, Czech and UK-based artists for professional development, peer learning, and future project development, with the potential to develop work that could tour in Ukraine and beyond. Focusing on choreographic development and peer exchange, we are hosting a 2.5 week residency in Prague in April 2024, to coincide with two significant international networking events in Europe: the Czech Dance Platform where participating artists can encounter innovative new ideas and meet international programmers, and the European Dancehouse Network (EDN) atelier on Dance & Resilience.
