DU Dance (Nll has ft)rmulaled its approach Into four separate but Intsrconnecled programmes of work uslng tho
followlng genertc tIUes'.
Cmssing th8 Divide- focuses on cros¥-communty work uslng danc8 Wlth Its physlcal, 8mOtlon81. and cognitlvo
demands as a tool to provide people with a ¥afe environment lo let go of fears and prejudice5 and b8gin lo have
contact with each other that is based on our common humanlty. Thls approach has been SUGGessfully used In
many different ¢ont6xts, including those where partldpants are experlencing inl8r- community conflict.
Closing the Gap foGuses on Inter-generalional work brlnging people of different generations togelher.
Hislorlcally, dance has been a soc181 gatherer with people of all ages and both genders. Currenuy however, there
are fow sllualions that bring people of different ages together. Wllh advancem8nts In digital technology and
