The project ImPArt takes accessibility a step further. It becomes a source of inspiration and encourages experiments.

The four project partners from Germany, Greece, Italy and Armenia set out on an expedition with international artists with and without disabilities from various backgrounds that uncovers, taps into and makes tangible the aristic potential of truly accessible art at the theorietical and pratical level.

Workshops, masterclasses, international symposia, international summits and international labs breaking new ground for inclusion in the arts. ImPArt enables us to re-think the stage, and to experiment with thoughts and approaches. This expedition will result and find its artistic expression in three interdisciplinary performances, which will be touring around Europe.
