Performing The World 4

More than 250 practitioners and scholars participated in Performing The World 4 (PTW4) just outside New York, between October 12-14, in roundtable debates and workshops that looked at and rehearsed social transformation. The conference met IDEA President Dan Baron Cohen who presented IDEA's key aims and projects, and was completely seduced by 25 military police from north-east Brazil whose dance theatre workshops and performances aim at building inclusion, citizenship and social transformation. The police connected with similar projects by the East Side Institute, organisers of PTW4, and hint at what we can expect in IDEA 2010!
