Open Space is a powerful, self-organising open meeting that enables participants to cre-ate their own agenda in accordance with a specific theme. More information about Open Space can be found here.

This is the first of two Open Space sessions with the theme of Democracy and the Per-forming Arts. For this half day we will look specifically at:

• the place of the performing arts in democracy: what is our place today as artists, pro-ducers, cultural workers, funders and other stakeholders? 
• what are our strengths and weaknesses, our threats and opportunities?
