Salamanda Tandem and Isabel Jones are delighted to have been selected as the 4th partner on this exciting EU project alongside Norway, Estonia and Portugal called FRAGILE - an international project on the inclusion of visually impaired people in the performing arts.
FRAGILE aims at exchanging knowledge about dancing with blind/visually impaired persons, enhancing the integration of visually impaired persons in the performing arts through transnational collaboration, and raising awareness for the importance of movement for the visually impaired.
The project's first phase (::workshops::) is now over, and the second phase (::performances & Symposium::) will start in September 2012.
