This panel brings together dance and theater artists and arts managers based in Africa, Europe, and the Americas to discuss key conditions of their work in this “global” profession. What have been the roles of transborder mobility and financial patronage in their careers? How have they undertaken projects committed to particular “local” contexts, and what futures do they see for socially engaged work in performance?
