TheOverdanceproject bythe Fondazione Nazionale della Danza/Aterballetto inReggio Emilia stems from the realization that the revolution in creative processes—accelerated by the pandemic—compels the world of dance to choose between turning inward or opening up to unconventional channels of expression andnew models of engagement with society, the public, and, ultimately, colleagues. These new relational networks underpin new creative processes, integrated with community initiatives, reinforcing the awareness of the central role of cultural welfare in the society of the future.
