To kick off the session, the group and Jo Mangan, using her own background as an artist, producer, curator and activist, will examine the advantages of what can sometimes disparagingly be referred to as a portfolio career.

The session is designed to respond to the growing necessity for artists to take the creativity of the rehearsal room into other aspects of their work. This in-depth session will explore ways to find a path that will allow us to  create meaningful work in a seemingly never-ending hustle of funding applications, pitching, and networking. The focus will be on identifying opportunities masquerading as insurmountable problems.

In this session, Virve Sutiten will guide the group in exploring how to develop artistically-curated international programmes starting from key and urgent questions: 

• What will international collaborations and exchanges look like in the future?
• What are the challenges of the climate crisis on touring and producing?
• How can we work with sustainability and diversity in local and international contexts?

With the facilitation of Virve Sutinen, the group will discuss how to approach gender issues today.

The performing arts community has firsthand dealt with identity politics. The gender discourse(s) have pierced all levels of our artistic and organisational practices.. Where are we today? How can we appropriately  discuss gender in an era of ‘woke’ culture?

Producing in an inter-/transnational context means first and foremost building connections. It also means dealing with a wide range of questions: 

• What supports me in embracing this complexity, and where is my room for creative leeway?
   
• What do I want to keep in mind, and what do I choose to unlearn? 
   
• Which questions are helpful in developing inter-/transnational work?
   
• Where can I start, and what are my motivations? 

This session is an invitation to approach this complexity together and explore the reasons for wanting to work internationally.

As phenomenology teaches us, there is no one universal world. Our perspective informs our perception. Therefore, we create a self by relating to what we might, or tend to, consider as not ourselves. This process occurs through a fabric of interrelationality and intersectionality within and with-out very vibrant power dynamics. 

• Who counts as being in our world?
   
• Who is doing the counting? 
   
• How much are we each willing to change our own world to coexist with others? 
   
• How do artists, and those working with them, navigate the multidimensionality of subjectivity and subject position? 

This session will offer a context in which together we will address these burning questions. By sharing our particular experiences, perhaps we will learn of alternative ways to participate in alternative worlds.

What have we learned and shared? What have we experienced so far? And what would we still like to develop further?

The Campus closing session will be a joint and participative conversation on how to use and share the Campus experience.
