After more than 10 years, our director Wim van Stam bade farewell to DansBrabant on 1 August. He was the face of the organisation for many years, starting in 2014 with founder Heleen Volman. Then together with Lisa Reinheimer, and in recent years with Nienke Rooijakkers.
OPEN LETTER: 'A vision for the dance field is needed now'
In recent weeks, the results of the culture sector's multi-year grants have been announced. These results cause major changes in our beloved dance sector. Many well-known and well-run companies have received nothing or only part of it. For many, this means that their survival has become very uncertain. It has a major impact on the sector and the ecosystem of dance in the Netherlands. These changes affect dancers, dramaturgs, new makers, producers, marketers and others involved.
We welcome a new chairman who is willing to move (pro-)actively in regional and national administrative networks and is a sparring partner in strategy development.
