The grant gave one more chance to organize 7-days workshop of new dance for East-European actors from Russia, Slovenia, Estonia, Moldavia, Latvia and Ukraine. Different ways of plastic art performance were shown. This representation of different trends in new dance, including traditional modern dance and experimental forms of dancing, became an event for professional circles and for interested in audience. It was made in a form of live performances, video- presentations and lectures. It is important to have more information about existing dance schools developing own styles. A lot of alternative dance groups and teams working in theatre style were involved in the workshop. Academically educated artists need to have contacts with those people, who propose new tendencies, who search for their own style, to see different dance ways found by colleagues.

Audience were excited having seen new forms to perform the dance. Contact improvisation, dance art-performance, ensemble improvisation combining conceptual art and dance were represented. Communication between participants brought new impulses, fresh ideas and power to continue searches.

Artists from different countries have difficulties in attempts to find contacts. Dancers became friends and they were very grateful for this chance to exchange of experience. There were numerous proposals concerning participation in different festivals in Russia, Estonia, Slovenia and other countries.

TV programs about this workshop were shown in Moscow festival "Alternative TV"

It is planned to build more strong contacts and to involve institutions from Western Europe to have possibility to invite wider circle of dancers.
