An Integrated Dance Strategy 2010-2012

An Integrated Dance Strategy 2010-2012 is now available for download from the Arts Council website. This paper outlines how the Arts Council intends to build on its review of Partnership for the Arts concluded in June 2008. Feedback from ongoing discussions with dance artists and organisations contributed directly to the shaping of the ideas in this document, which offers a developed and integrated overview of how the Council envisages dance provision in the future.

Giving Body to Dance

Giving Body to Dance, a summary report of the review of building based infrastructures for dance in Ireland is now available for download from the Arts Council website. The review involved a nationwide consultation with dance artists, companies, organisations and spaces. The document contains findings which relate to the quality of spaces that are currently available to professional dance practitioners countrywide. The report outlines comprehensively, the recommended health and safety standards for dance spaces. This is the first time that such a list of recommendations has been compiled for dance in Ireland.
