Australia - Panpapanpalya dance education international congress

None

Panpapanpalya 2018, the 2nd joint congress of daCi (dance and the Child international) and WDA (World Dance Alliance) Global Education and Training Network takes place in Adelaide Australia 8 – 13 July 2018. Registration is open.

Panpapanpalya 2018 will be one of the world’s largest gatherings of dancers, dance educators, and artists of all ages, generating new thoughts and ideas for dance learning and teaching in the 21st century.

Panpapanpalya 2018 will be centered on four interwoven themes: dance, gathering, generations, learning.

These themes, summarised by the Aboriginal Kaurna word Panpapanpalya, honour Australia’s rich Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander dance practices, as well as indigenous dance cultures from around the world.

Babies, young children, school and university students, dance artists, community and cultural workers, parents and carers, as well as educators, will be involved as participants and presenters coming from diverse backgrounds and countries all over the world.

The congress will include intercultural dance experiences across generations and new learning through presentations, social interaction and debate.
