The project was realized by grant that gave possibility to organize workshop of new dance for East-European dancers (Russia, Slovenia, Hungary, Ukraine). Different ways of plastic art performance were shown. This representation of different trends in new dance became an event for professionals and interested in audience as well. It was in a form of alive performances, video-presentations, lectures, master-classes. It is especially important for Odessa, where classical ballet school traditions are very strong. Ballet artists and students of the ballet colleges need to have more information about existing dance schools in order to develop own styles. Ballet classes given by invited artists in the Ballet College were perceived with deep understanding and readiness to go forward. Admiration of students and professional artists was the reason for invited dancers to show technical methods as well as to teach searching for own plastic. Classically educated artists showed that they can overcome traditions, they just need to contact with somebody, who suggests new tendencies. At the same time audience was excited having seen new forms of body plastic and new forms to perform the dance. Contact improvisation, dance art-performance, ensemble improvisation, combining conceptual art and dance were represented during this event. Interviews given by our guests explained the idea and reason for experiments and it helped to understand more precise direction in developing new dance and its interaction with other arts - music, installation, video. One more important goal was fixed during workshop. We live here and know almost nothing about events in other countries. But artists from different countries also have difficulties in attempts to find contacts. We became friends with our guests and they were grateful for the chance to exchange of experience. Now we plan to send information to "Other Dance" magazine, to participate in festivals in St.Petersburg and Moscow, to develop relations with Hungarian dance groups. It is worth to hold workshops for stable contacts, to create more mobile network.
