This workshop offers insights into the design and management of dance platforms -both practically and conceptually- which IDF developed over 31 years as a starting point. In this workshop participants will be actively involved in mapping and analyzing various current art platforms, developing existing practices, and exploring the latest ideas. Through this workshop, the dynamics of the practice of various dance platforms will be mapped, and new dance platforms will emerge that are contextual, innovative, progressive and sustainable.

Facilitators:
Linda Mayasari (IDF Curator)
Renata Rosari (Festival Manager IDF)

Lawatari is made of a combination of two words – to visit (lawat) and tari (dance). This combination represents Indonesian Dance Festival (IDF)’s intention to connect with performing arts practitioners by co-organizing a mini festival. Held in collaboration with local partners, this program brings the spirit of visiting and getting to know the context of the areas visited. Lawatari was held in Makassar, Padang Panjang and Yogyakarta as part of the Road to IDF 2024 program series.
