As a member of the European Dance Development Network (EDN)—a network dedicated to fostering and advocating for the structural development of the dance sector—ICK will participate in the EDN General Assembly and Think-In on 16 and 17 June in Hamburg, hosted by K3 and Tanztriennale.

This gathering brings together EDN members and partners from across Europe for exchange, reflection, and strategic dialogue. The 2026 edition marks an important transitional moment, with nine vacancies on the EDN board and pressing issues concerning the engagement of younger audiences, structural changes within the dance sector, and collective advocacy.

Over the past months, ICK has also been actively involved in the EDN Digital Task Force. This group brings together members and experts to explore the possibilities of digitalisation, artificial intelligence (AI), and innovation within the field of dance. More information on the group’s research and knowledge-sharing activities will follow soon, so keep an eye on our channels.
