    Watchin' Dance - How young people receive dance

    Dance plays an ambivalent role in the lives of young people. In the research project, we ask about viewing habits and reception needs of dance in analog and digital space. We are also investigating the role that music plays for young people in the reception of dance. The aim is to identify young people's modes of reception and educational experiences as well as support options for reception processes.
