Jardin d’Europe is a European project dedicated to the establishment of a sustainable European infrastructure for the professionalization of emerging dancers, choreographers, dance administrators and dance writers. Its main objective is to organise individual artistic projects liable to become a driving force in an emerging dance market throughout Europe. Jardin d’Europe is organised as a network of European dance institutions (dance training centres, dance companies or festival organizers) with a particular priority in Middle and Eastern European Countries (4Culture/RO, Bimeras Culture Foundation/TR, CCN Montpellier/FR, Cullberg Ballet/SE, danceWEB/AT, Lokomotiva/MK, Southbank Centre/UK, Station/RS, Ultima Vez/BE, Workshop Foundation/HU). The network activities of Jardin d’Europe are planned in a period of five years starting in July 2008. Each year, the results of the accompanying evaluation processes are used to reframe the process according to the current necessities. Its well-elaborated elements are linked together to support the qualification and professionalization of the emerging players of our art form on a European level.
