First attempt in this direction was undertaken in 1998. It was aimed at the top problems of a new dance art in Ukraine. The representation of various trends in the novel dance became an event for professionals as well as for the interested in audience. Actors with the classic education demonstrated their possibility to overcome traditions. The second stage was realized during Festival of Novel Dance in 1999, when new dancing groups and teams, which activities is focused on the realization of projects in the theatre, were involved in the workshops. It was the reason for the invited actors to show their technique as well as to teach how to search own plastic methods. Master-classes given by well-known specialists were very exciting and useful. Outstanding dancer Didier Terone (France) Joseph Nage (France) with his ballet troupe participated in this festival. Generally, festival brought great emotional impulse. New ideas had been appeared. New emotions, creative ideas were a result of that event.

Given project presents 6-days event, which covers international festival of novel dance with workshops and conference for dancers, musicians and all interested in persons.. The aim of the project is to develop and to fix in Ukraine, particularly in Odessa region, a new forms of plastic arts and visual practices. The main idea of the workshop is to unite contemporary, novel dance, visual art and new music. There is a lack of information about new tendencies. Strong classical ballet education doesn't allow to grasp a new body plastic, powerful stamps prevent to search for and to develop new choreography. Now the situation changes and achieved results must be fixed. With realization of this project we would like to make accent on discussion as well as demonstration of results and achievements in this field. We hope that this event will enrich the cultural exchange between different countries as well as priorities and methods of realization of joint creative projects will be determined. Now it is very important to outline ways in the development not only novel dance, but its interaction with the new plastic forms as well as with a new music and new forms of video-art. New conceptual decisions in plastic art had to give push to new adequate musical accompaniment (video- and other performances). Screen-play and "mode of action" of the novel dance art are subjects for discussion also. Realization of Workshops will help to unite different genres and to demonstrate novel tendencies in art to new generation.
