03. Burning Questions

The Aim

The aim of Big Pulse was to build the capacity of artists and festivals to achieve the vision of a more sustainable, relevant and successful dance sector. The Burning Questions are a long list of concerns and challenges that have been the subject of discussion throughout the project. The key feature of the Alliance is to co-operate across different roles. Therefore, it’s been important for the project to create spaces for open discussion between artists, producers, administrators, curators, directors, professionals and academics who could share issues about their working conditions, exchange expectations and look for ways to improve the overall situation in the dance sector.

 
Still Burning

Burning Questions is a long list of concerns and challenges that were discussed throughout the project. When there were answers, they did not solve the question. Instead, they provoked new questions. The most frequent themes visited were around sustainability, access, accessibility, cultural diversity and fair practices, including solidarity, trust and transparency in Big Pulse and, in general, in the dance sector.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
