    M2ACT<->FORUM TANZ

    Forum Tanz and m2act are combining their network meetings this year. In collaboration with RESO – Dance Network Switzerland, Danse Suisse and Pro Helvetia, m2act invites you to a national network meeting for the performing arts.

Toolbox

The m2act toolbox offers practical tips and solutions developed through co-creative projects, which can be used to meet current challenges in the performing arts. We expand the toolbox continually with findings and insights from the networking events and projects that have received funding. The tools are available to everyone for unrestricted use and further development.

Dialogues

We regularly engage in dialogues regarding co-creative processes, fair practices and sustainable structures with experts from the performing arts and other areas.
