EDN European Dancehouse Network «Building a Dancehouse Atelier» | The panelists voices

We heard some voices of the panelists during the EDN Atelier in Bassano questioning them about the «dance house theme». We were curious about:

How would they define a dancehouse?
How can dance be sustainable for them?
Why did they choose the dance career/world as their work?

Here are the interviews.
