Movement follows at the next plunge, but these two worlds aren’t separate but closely connected.” He shows drawings for his forthcoming work from a sketch book and says that he often designs the sets himself. When he was twenty, fine arts and architecture were possible career choices but dance won. Kekoni says that he’s still dedicated to dance and still capable of being intoxicated by movement. “I prepare a lot in advance for the danc- ers, but not everything is pre-designed – I also improvise together with them.

  • Mapping Smart Cities in the Europe
    DIRECTORATE GENERAL FOR INTERNAL POLICIES POLICY DEPARTMENT A: ECONOMIC AND SCIENTIFIC POLICY Mapping Smart Cities in the EU STUDY Abstract This report was commissioned to provide background information and advice on Smart Cities in the European Union (EU) and to explain how existing mechanisms perform. In exploring this, a working definition of a Smart City is established and the cities fitting this definition across the Member States are mapped. An analysis of the objectives and Europe 2020 targets of Smart City initiatives finds that despite their early stage of development, Smart City objectives should be more explicit, well defined and clearly aligned to city development, innovation plans and Europe 2020 in order to be successful.

Weekly ​ ​ highlights feature streams of beloved Festival performances from the past ten years, a series of new PillowTalks with leaders in the dance field, an online version of the beloved intergenerational movement class Families Dance together, and a new Master Class Series from The School at Jacob’s Pillow. Attendees are encouraged to make a contribution in lieu of purchasing a ticket and fifty percent of donations for performances will be shared with the artists featured. Community Engagement events will share proceeds with local community organizations. “After we canceled our on-site Festival due to the global pandemic, we soon realized the need to fulfill our mission by engaging artists and audiences in a quintessential summer experience from Jacob’s Pillow virtually,” says Jacob’s Pillow Executive & Artistic Director Pamela Tatge. “The civic organizing and protests confronting racism and inequality in our country greatly impacts our organization’s decision-making. The model we envision is one that is free for all, made more accessible by being entirely online, pays artists and scholars for their time, and provides artists with additional support during a time when many have lost their income.

    2017 THE NORDIC COUNTRIES MADE IN 2017 NO BORDERS We in the arts can take centre stage and show that the ability to collaborate is one of the finest things in humanity, and is crucial for our survival. The Nordic countries have a long-standing tradition of working together, and the MADE IN project, its catalogue and website, is a small yet great example of that. Artists, leaders and promoters in the performing arts from five countries have come together to jointly present their information on what they are all doing right now and in the near future. This is the fifth edition, and for the first time, we’ve decided not to list the catalogue by country, as we chose to fully commit to our manifesto for no borders between Nordic performing arts organisations. You are all welcome to start your communication with any of us, as in front of you is a network of fearless artists not unlike their Viking ancestors.
