Dance Context

Dance Context is not only the publisher of an established and growing Czech dance webzine but also moves internationally and organizes several discussions, workshops and other meetings. The main lines of activity of this production platform are now organised into five thematic units:

1. Taneční aktuality: Online magazine specializing in reflection on the fields of Czech professional dance, non-verbal theatre, new circus and other overlapping genres. Dance News has been the leader of Czech dance and movement journalism for several years.

2. Czech Dance Database: The portal allows artists and organizations to post their profiles for free and provides information about events and opportunities, a calendar of industry performances, etc. Another popular content is the Dancer's Manual, which comprehensively summarizes information to start your career.

3. Dance Context Webzine is an English web platform that reflects European dance and performance art. It publishes translations of selected texts from Dance News reflecting Czech dance as well as original texts from foreign contributors from all over Europe – reviews, reports and interviews. The content of the English version of Taneční aktuality has been completely moved to the domain www.dancecontextwebzine.com.

4. Journal: Dance Context Journal, a printed Czech-English theoretical publication on dance and performance art, will replace the Special Edition of Taneční aktuality in 2024 and will now be partially peer-reviewed.

5. Live: Dance Context Live is an umbrella name for professional discussions, industry roundtables, informal debates with audiences, educational workshops, and seminars organized by the forum in the Czech and international contexts, at home and abroad.
