During the meeting of Kaunas City Council on Tuesday, three laureates of 2020 were announced:  organizations \u201cArgentavis\u201d,\u201cGenba Food\u201d and the artists who presented the international Kaunas Biennial project \u201cMagic Carpets\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A different approach to disability<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Unlike a year ago, this time the winners of \u201cKaunas visiems\u201d were congratulated virtually, and will be awarded at the end of the quarantine.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe evaluated initiatives and business organizations are living proof that, integration of a person affected by disability into the community and the labor market, is significant not only for themselves, but also creates added value for the business itself. In a sense, it enriches the whole company and at the same time strengthens the society &#8220;, \u2013 said the initiator of \u201cKaunas visiems\u201d and the member of Health and Social Affairs Committee of Kaunas City Council, Dr. Donatas Ve\u010derskis.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Improvisations in contemporary dance<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Choreographers and dancers of the Creative Movement Laboratory \u2013 Mantas Staba\u010dinskas and Vasara Visockait\u0117 working with Kaunas Biennial on a project \u201cMagic Carpets\u201d, were chosen in the Initiative of the year category. The artists embarked on a search for creativity with the community of the Korys Center for People with Disabilities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA happy and productive society consists of happy individuals. It\u2019s hard to imagine a well-functioning mechanism when a few details are unattended and forgotten. And in this case, dance &#8211; especially contemporary &#8211; is a great platform to raise public awareness on the issue. Contemporary dance performers are constantly looking for new opportunities for movement and expression, so getting rid of stereotypes can only enrich this area. The ability to move according to music or rhythm is an innate need that we sometimes lose as we grow, but I believe it can be rediscovered. The opportunity to cooperate is the most important advantage of participating in similar projects, which inspires us to continue working\u201d, \u2013 V.
