The end of the inclusive dance dream? Culture committee drops Darcy ensemble

The inclusive dance ensemble from Grégory Darcy, known and valued far beyond the city limits, is about to end! A stalemate in the Esslingen cultural committee has decided: The coveted funding of 40,000 euros for the continuation of the project was rejected with equality of the votes. While representatives of the SPD, the Greens, Left and we voted for the support, CDU, free voters, FDP/volt and AfD with their no votes for the abrupt end.

"Simply reject such a lighthouse project is incomprehensible," said Axel Englmann, board member of the Dieselstrasse cultural center, and thus expressed the confusion about the decision. Finally, a majority of the present interest in continuation had signaled. The dance company, which was founded in 2019 and consists of professional dancers with and without disabilities, is now no longer supported by the new guidelines of the city to promote concept. A shock for everyone who believed in the future of the ensemble! Further details on this unexpected drama can be found according to www.stuttgarter-nachrichten.de .
