Dance as ICH: New models of facilitating participatory dance events

From 2022 to 2025 the project Dance as ICH: New models of facilitating participatory dance events (Dance – ICH) will explore facilitation of dance as intangible cultural heritage and the relationship between local dance heritage communities, museums, heritage institutions and the public.

The project’s main objective is to strengthen the capacity and knowledge in the museum and the cultural heritage sector’s work on dancing as intangible cultural heritage (ICH), as a current contemporary facilitation practice, and to establish new or renewed models for participatory dance events as a co-creative process in call from heritage communities. This project aims to develop innovative methods, processes, and arenas for participatory folk dancing as ICH of the 21st century. It aims to trigger new ways of acting and thinking about facilitation of ICH, to develop and reinforce the capacity of the European cultural heritage professionals. Innovation plays a key role in establishing sustainable structures to ensure that future generations feel affiliated to European cultural heritage in a participative, bottom-up manner. Dance as ICH is calling for a renewal of the exhibition towards events of practice, and where the traditional role of researchers, curators, administrators and others are challenged. In such, innovation is necessary and a natural part of the customisation and adaption to new era.
