We want to hear your opinion! As part of the Creative Europe projekt Be SpectACTive! we established Audience Jury for the first tim in 2016. This Jury is selecting three perfomance which are going to be presented as "Audience Jury selection" in the programme of Czech Dance Platform. If the choice of Audience Jury differs from the selection of the Dramaturgy Jury, these works are listed separately in the programme.

Audience Jury is watching the artworks during the autumn season and participate in regular meetings with selected members of the Dramaturgy Jury at the PONEC - dance venue.
