EDN – European Dancehouse Network is the institutional European network of currently 40 dance theatres, aiming to advance dance as an art form and jointly develop ideas and EU projects. TQW benefits from its EDN membership at several levels: EDN members organise an activity once a month – usually 2- to 3-day impulse events (studios, conferences), at which various current issues relating to contemporary dance and producing are discussed and examined, with input from experts. These events are specially designed for team members from dance theatres to promote know-how and networking among the individual institutions. ednetwork.eu

WEB is an international network for creation and presentation, operating since 2009. The network is an answer to the need for better joint efforts and partnership within the performing arts, particularly in terms of exchange, research, production and presentation. WEB brings together workspaces, arts centres and festivals in order to reinforce each other across the national borders. The aim is to give integral support to two artists per year. The focus is on upcoming artists on the verge of an international breakthrough. WEB provides the artist full support from A to Z. The partners guarantee space for research and creation through a series of residencies. They offer financial, logistical, and technical support. They give administrative back-up and artistic feedback during the creation process. Each collaboration culminates in a series of presentations, inside and outside of the network.

WEB is an initiative by Beursschouwburg (Brussels, BE), Fierce Festival (Birmingham, UK), Frascati (Amsterdam, NL), Gessnerallee (Zurich, CH), Göteborgs Dans & Teater Festival (SE), Hiroshima Art Space (Barcelona, ES), Le Vivat (Armentières, FR), Tanzquartier Wien (AT), Uzès Danse (FR), WP Zimmer (Antwerp, BE)

BE MY GUEST is a European network of renowned event venues, festivals and theatres that is committed to promoting groundbreaking aesthetic positions in the fields of dance, performance and theatre. Its central concern is to support young artists – e.g. by way of co-productions, residencies, guest performances and dramaturgy advice. The network has been active since 2018 (with financial support from Pro Helvetia, among others) and has so far provided guidance to the following artists: Catarina Miranda (PT), Sonja Jokiniemi (FI) and Anne Lise Le Gac (FR). Additional points of interest are an intensive reflection on current socio-political developments and their implications for European artists as well as exploring these developments in performative works.

Members of BE MY GUEST are: Kunstencentrum BUDA (Kortrijk, BE), La Bellone (Brussels, BE), Théâtre Saint-Gervais (Geneva, CH), Festival Belluard Bollwerk International (Freiburg, CH), Kaaitheater (Brussels, BE), Plateforme Parallèle (Marseille, FR), ICI-CCN (Montpellier, FR), Artsadmin (London, UK), Short Theatre (Rome, IT), Materiais Diversos (Lisbon, PT), Tanzquartier Wien (AT).
