Once a freelancing dance artist or producer, and now; a mother?

Is having children end of a freelancing dance field career? How does the dance sector, funders & institutions deal with working moms? How does it feel to become a mother in the unstable environment of contemporary dance? Are the institutions taking steps in order to make “freelancing life” family friendly? How can we afford a year parental leave, where freelancing choreographers visibility and funding sustainability depends on constant producing and touring?  Can we use the experience of becoming a parent in the artistic work? How does the awareness differs between different countries within Europe?

 

After having organised 3 “Ceren Oran & Moving Borders Sessions” last year with inspiring international panellists and moderators, in 2023 we continue with this format and this time we dig in a topic, that has become a daily routine and challenge for both of its founders.  

 

Guests: Julia Rutigliano (Opera Singer and member of board of Bühnenmütter), Johanna Rogann (Freelancing choreographer and the director of The Guts Company), Anna Donderer (Cultural Initiator, Creative Production Manager ), Ceren Oran (choreographer and dancer). 

 

Discussion will be moderated by Simone Schulte-Aladag.
