A trio of speakers will make a joint reflection on the status of the sector of society, about the legacy we are building and about the modalities of our exchanges.

Kylie Walters, CNSMD, France
György Ujvári-Pintér, Hodworks, Hungary

Live vs digital: the new old debate [West of the Globe]

Online

Online

01:00 - 02:00 SGT | 02:00 - 03:00 JST/KST | 04:00 - 05:00 AEDT | 20:00 - 21:00 EET /MSK | 19:00 - 20:00 CEST | 18:00 - 19:00 GMT |  13:00 - 14:00 EST |  10:00 - 11:00 PST

The digital dimension is not alien to the performing arts – it has been developing and flourishing for decades. However, when the pandemic challenged the live component of our art form, the performing arts sector has been pushed to embrace digitalisation at an even more rapid pace.

For some, it has been an opportunity to renew their artistic form, reach out to new audiences, and enhance accessibility. For others, digitalisation has been merely a part of their survival strategy, a temporary solution going at odds with their aesthetics and artistic values. Is it not a high time to acknowledge and to get to grips with this difference, if not a clash, of perspectives and approaches?

This session is a moment to reflect upon some of the opportunities and contradictions that came to light in regard to the digitalisation of the performing arts.

Translocality in the arts [East of the Globe]

Online

Online

15:00 - 16:00 SGT | 16:00 - 17:00 JST/KST | 18:00 - 19:00 AEDT | 10:00 - 11:00 EET/ MSK | 09:00 - 10:00 CEST | 08:00 - 09:00 GMT | 03:00 - 04:00 EST | 00:00 - 01:00 PST

What is the future of international cultural collaboration in a reality in which postcolonial legacies continue to persist and the environment is rapidly degrading? What is the future of transborder artists exchanges in a world where inequalities and geographic disparities have only been growing and national frontiers have been strengthened?

In this session, Dutch philosopher, writer and poet Maarten Doorman will talk about the concept of translocality in the arts, which challenges the notions of national and international and emancipates the concept of the local in a global perspective. His intervention will be followed by reactions from art professionals based in Australia, Lebanon and Poland, and then the floor will be open for a discussion with the audience.

Trans(-)Missions(s) / Transition / Exchange / Transfer! / Passage?

What do we envision as the modalities of exchange of the future? What will trans-mission(s) mean for future generations of artists, performing arts professionals, the communities who benefit from our practices, as well as future generations of audiences?

This Open Forum is supposed to explore the idea of transmission in all its possible meanings. Think about the myriad of different discussions we can have around knowledge, experience and communication. Think about the intergenerational and peer-to-peer dialogues, the questions about artistic education, training, heritage, around the mechanism of power transfer and rites of passage.

This Open forum is dedicated to building a frame for conversations and collective outputs about the issues that hold the future of the performing arts sector in Europe and around the world.

Participants will be invited to work together about this theme, coming up with the topic that they want to place on the agenda themselves and sharing thoughts in the frame of self-managed workshops.

At the end of this session, all the groups will be able to meet, debrief and exchange about this collective experience.

A lunch break is planned for from 13:30 to 14:30 and we will have some morning coffee and snacks around 11:00.

Maximum capacity: 50 participants

In Villeurbanne, we will be talking about how to support emergence and the structural challenges at hand. The question of structural changes will then lead us to a reflection about gender and power relations. The Villeurbanne parcours will include an essential discussion in the frame of our overarching theme of Trans-mission(s): What type of structural changes have we seen following the #MeToo movement in the cultural sector? How else can we still improve?

Visit of Lablab

Location: Pôle PIXEL, 36 Rue Emile Decorps, 69100 Villeurbanne | Event Map | Venue Accessibility

Digital technologies are an integral part of the performance world and are changing our relationship to performance. We invite you to visit a space where art, research and technology are working in the same effervescence, where artistic creation rhymes with social innovation.

The LabLab is an artistic laboratory, a research and creation space for new audiovisual, immersive and interactive experiences. This creative hive brings together a community of makers in the arts and digital technology: it stimulates the mutualisation of spaces, equipment, technologies and skills through the dynamics of sharing and mutual support.

A visit of this digital creation space will be proposed by the two co-sponsors: AADN, which works for the development of digital arts and culture, and Theoriz studio, creators of state-of-the-art digital experiential environments. We will be able to meet some of the LabLab's residents: Natacha Paquignon, who develops a choreographic and digital language based on interactive devices designed for dance, and the visual artist Margot Raymond.

13:30 - 15:00

Supporting emergence in the performing arts: what do we really need?

Location: Théâtre National Populaire (TNP), 8 Pl. du Dr Lazare Goujon, 69100 Villeurbanne | Event Map | Venue Accessibility

Passing on, training, mentoring, supporting... In a context of uncertain recomposition, how can we help young actors in the performing arts to make their way?  What can their more experienced colleagues bring to emerging artists and professionals?  And to what end?
Starting from the example of inspiring approaches and testimonies, this participative conversation will allow us to identify the first needs of emerging artists and professionals in a complex environment and to share knowledge about possible and effective forms of support for their development.

#METOO in the Cultural sector: from call-outs to structural change

Location: Théâtre National Populaire (TNP), 8 Pl. du Dr Lazare Goujon, 69100 Villeurbanne | Event Map | Venue Accessibility

No matter how atrocious and particular #MeToo cases are, they are never only related to an individual perpetrator. Sexual harassment and sexual abuse are forms of structural violence and are thus deeply entangled with the dominant gender, racial, economic and power structures.

Following an online session held as part of the SHIFT – Shared Initiatives for Training on October 6, this participatory discussion will dive deeper into sexual harassment, bullying and power abuse in the European art field and focus on the steps networks can take together to combat sexual harassment and power abuse.

Visit of the neighbourhood of La Saulaie

Meeting point: Mémo (Médiathèque Municipale d’Oullins), Rue de la République, 69600 Oullins | Event Map

Grounded between the railway and the A7 motorway, La Saulaie is an old working-class district that used to be home to the SNCF railway workshops. Between industrial wastelands and run-down buildings, the Metropolis of Lyon and the Municipality of Oullins are designing a "revitalised sustainable eco-district". Rehabilitation, transformation, development... The urban development project is planned over a dozen years with the aim of improving the living environment, opening up the city centre and improving connections with the urban area.

How do the inhabitants participate in defining this urban project? What role do performing arts and culture play in this transformation? The actors of the urban project will guide us through the district of La Saulaie, its history and the projects that are being drawn up, its working class culture and the culture that could be invented there.

Trans(-)Missions(s) / Transition / Exchange / Transfer! / Passage?

What do we envision as the modalities of exchange of the future? What will trans-mission(s) mean for future generations of artists, performing arts professionals, the communities who benefit from our practices, as well as future generations of audiences?

This Open Forum is supposed to explore the idea of transmission in all its possible meanings. Think about the myriad of different discussions we can have around knowledge, experience and communication. Think about the intergenerational and peer-to-peer dialogues, the questions about artistic education, training, heritage, around the mechanism of power transfer and rites of passage.

This Open forum is dedicated to building a frame for conversations and collective outputs about the issues that hold the future of the performing arts sector in Europe and around the world.

Participants will be invited to work together about this theme, coming up with the topic that they want to place on the agenda themselves and sharing thoughts in the frame of self-managed workshops.

At the end of this session, all the groups will be able to meet, debrief and exchange about this collective experience.

A lunch break is planned for from 13:30 to 14:30 and we will have some morning coffee and snacks around 11:00.

Based in the NTH8 / Nouveau Théâtre du 8e,  their research work focuses on contemporary writing, as well as on the transmission of theatrical practices and on infusing art into the urban communities. 

At the NTH8, we can find (among others) teams in the process of creation, apprentice performers in training, children, teenagers, residents who are participating in artistic workshops, a Theatre and French Sign Language department and more.

How does this Lyon-based international institution approach the issue of accessibility for people with disabilities?

The Maison de la Danse team will present the numerous mediation actions they have put in place to tackle interpretation of choreographic works in French Sign Language, audio description services, production of shows in specialised institutions. This will also be an opportunity to talk about the municipal public policy that aims to support the creation of a more accessible cultural offer.

During our visit, we will also get to know Numéridanse, the multimedia dance platform which is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year. It is a unique video collection accessible to all, an innovative resource for artistic and cultural education.

52% of European performing arts professionals rate their knowledge of work by disabled artists as either poor or very poor.

87% of European venues and festivals don't involve disabled people in selection panels or in the commissioning process.
 
How can we address these questions and act at the level of programmers, venues but also companies and collectives?
How can the level of knowledge of disabled artists’ works be increased and nurtured? How do we ensure that experiences and learnings of small and independent companies, venues and festivals are considered and recognised? How do we move beyond ticking the box of ‘disability’ in one’s funding application and towards a cultural ecosystem that is genuinely more equitable, inclusive and diverse in its cultural programming?
 
This session will explore some of the initial findings of a major new study spanning 40 European countries into the barriers that disabled people experience when accessing the arts, with a particular focus on programming works by disabled artists in Europe. This session is conceived by the British Council, part of the Creative Europe project Europe Beyond Access in collaboration with On the Move and the researchers associated to the Time to Act Report.

Tools for environmental transmission 

Starting point: Garden of the Musée des Confluences

Walking from Musée des Confluences to the Maison de l'Environnement, participants will have the opportunity to stop half-way and experience an outdoor workshop, come rain or come shine.

In this nomad workshop, we will put our brains together into building the concept and background of a small project built on the theme of sustainability. By applying the use of communications in the service of environmental action, we will examine how the arts can be a tool for environmental education.

This exercise will be followed by a closing Q&A.
