IDEA aims to put Jordan in the global dance scene. It creates bonds between dance professionals from Jordan and abroad.
Through supporting, producing, and presenting works for local emerging artists, together with a network of international and regional partners, IDEA serves as a platform for innovation, experimentation, and continuous development of dance culture in Jordan and beyond.
For 2019, the 1st edition of IDEA presented 9 cutting-edge dance works from home and abroad, including 46 artists coming from 18 different countries.
For 2021, our 2nd edition of the festival has invited 35 artists from more than 10 different countries to Jordan’s stages, outdoor locations, galleries and museums, with a specific focus on inter-cultural understanding and capacity building.

10 CHILDREN
10CHILDREN IN ACTION
In 10 cities in 10 countries, an international and local community of children, young people, professional artists, museums, theaters, film schools, as well as
universities, humanitarian organizations and NGOs will work together on various art projects.The stories of the children and their perspectives are central. They are the authors and the
experts.
A performance made by professional actors, dancers and/or musicians created and performed in close collaboration with the children.The performance will be presented
in the local language and will address in a high quality and meaningful way the inevitable consequences of poverty.
A documentary will portray the daily life of the children and their families based on what they would like to show. The main focus is the voice of the children,
their struggle and courage, their concerns and dreams. The documentary will be made by talented local professionals.
A photo- and visual arts exhibition where local and international artists work together with children. The exhibition contains all kinds of visual work: Video,
painting, sculpture, installations and more. The quality of the artists and the raw sincerity of the children will create exciting and powerful work.
An educational program will be developed in close cooperation with the local partners and will be available for schools, theatre's and NGO's. These programmes will
also be part of the general educational 10CHILDRENbox.
A context program: meetings with experts, discussions, lectures, workshops. Here the collaboration with the different NGO’s and universities will be crucial.
A big opening night, where all the art-projects are presented to a general audience, to local and national politicians, NGO’s, influential members of the community,
press and of course to the children and their families. After this event all the art projects will stay available for a long period for schools and a general audience.The goal is to generate
publicity for the stories of the children and hopefully create some change in the way their lives are perceived, locally, regionally and globally.
THE A.S.K.

communication, team-work, collaboration, empathy, creative problem-solving, and resilience.” A.S.K
