Aerowaves Partners meeting in Rome
8 November 2022Aerowaves partners and dance professionals gathered in person to discuss hundreds of videos of dance works from 27 – 30 October, hosted by Francesca Manica from Romaeuropa Festival at Mattatoio Roma in Rome (Italy).
Selection process of the #Twenty23 artists and annual meeting
We watched and discussed the submitted works with curiosity and commitment to identify the #Twenty23 artists. The selected artists will be announced in mid November and will present their pieces at the Spring Forward festival from 27 – 29 April 2023 in Dublin (Ireland).
This was the first Annual meeting led by new co-directors Elisabetta Bisaro and Roberto Casarotto in attendance with Administrative Director Anna Arthur. The Annual meeting is a chance for partners to shape the future of Aerowaves and discuss Spring Forward festivals, as well as connected projects run by Aerowaves and Aerowaves partners.
Thank you to Romaeuropa Festival for hosting the Aerowaves family!
