12:20 Presentation of ”Sans & Dans” (sensuality and dance – an artistic research project) Argentinian dancer Ingrid Kristensen represents a renewal of Danish culture and arts far beyond the traditional: “It is a fusion between art and research that new perspectives for the art opens, but also for research and the new knowledge and experience economies as it unfolds in the cross section between innovative businesses, creative artists and open-minded scientists".
It is interesting to see how Ingrid Kristensen puts the dance, body and movement on the global agenda by going new and unconventional ways. She takes dance, theatre, performance and sensual art to places where it has never been before.

14:45 “Authentic cultural development”
The time has come to ask whether or not one is willing to travel as did Kapucinski with Herodos to question cultural truths of our times and strengthen the argument for an authentic cultural development. The experiences made along the way should open up perspectives not only in terms of economic development but as well as far as innovative methods are concerned. These should include theatrical performances, poetry translations, philosophical reflections and artistic expressions. It matters when culture is made by the people referring to real experiences.
