For the sixth edition of the biennial DanceAble Symposium, Holland Dance Festival invites you to a day dedicated to connection, exchange, and co-creation.
Over the years, the symposium has become a cornerstone in the cultural landscape — both nationally and internationally — attracting an ever-growing community of visitors and professionals from around the world. This edition, curated by Kimberley Harvey and Irene van Zeeland, will take place in the stunning surroundings of Amare, whose inspiring atmosphere provides the perfect setting for encounters and inspiration. This year’s programme, moderated by Humberto Tan, brings together international, intergenerational, and interdisciplinary voices to explore how we can collectively shape an inclusive future for dance.
