GPS / Global Practice Sharing provides a platform that facilitates the international exchange of ideas, working processes, and reflective practices in dance and movement-based forms between the United States and independent performing arts communities around the world.
GPS is based on the premise that dialogue across differences inevitably stimulates the emergence of new knowledge and creative innovation. By investing in the mobility of artists, curators, and cultural professionals, GPS promotes intercultural understanding as well as the development of the contemporary arts scene. The program was officially established in 2016 and currently operates as an informal partnership network supporting exchange programs in Eastern and Central Europe, and more recently in the Middle East and North Africa.
The GPS / Global Practice Sharing program is led by Marýa Wethers.The Movement Research GPS / Global Practice Sharing program is supported by the Trust for Mutual Understanding and the Blanchette Hooker Rockefeller Fund.
