The artistic vision of this international event highlights the art of Dance as an act of Story-Telling, bringing forward the individual’s narrative. The curation of the works is emphasizing physical, multi-disciplinary dance language and expression of the body – as a meeting point and a common ground between people. JISDF is bringing forward the artist’s story, told and expressed through an original, most human point of view.
