Europe Beyond Access is committed to collaborating with the world’s leading inclusive dance companies to educate professional and mainstream audiences in artistic practices and other arts and disability-related issues.
On 22 May, our partner Skånes Dansteater will run a one-day workshop together with Candoco Dance Company, Spinn Dance Company, and Share Music and Performing Arts. Professional and non-professional dancers will be trained and guided through different thematic sections led by the guest organisations.
Three days later, on 25 May, the Swedish public will have the chance to watch Candoco on the Skånes Dansteater stage. As one of the world’s foremost inclusive dance companies, it will present a double bill by Trisha Brown and Jeanine Durning, two boundary-breaking New York-based choreographers.
In addition to the performances, an introduction session with the artists will take place 60 minutes before the show. It will be conducted in Swedish and is included in the ticket price.
More information about the tickets and the performances.

Last Shelter
Last Shelter by Jeanine Durning is an experiment exploring the enduring human desire to build something together
The piece unfolds uniquely at each performance. Teetering at the edge of what could be in an ever-shifting environment, this choreography highlights the velocity and precision of each dancer’s decision-making from moment to moment, somewhere between agency and collective will.
