This online session is dedicated to the launch of two Creative Europe projects:

Tele-Encounters: Beyond the Human 

Tele-encouters: Beyond the Human (Teatrul "George Ciprian" Buzău - RO, UCAM - ES, and Industria Scenica - IT) will explore the impact of the Internet, robots, and AI on human relationships, as well as the meaningful integration of these technologies in the arts. 

Thematically, we will look at the emergence of social robots as companions for the elderly in relation to migration and loneliness. Our project seeks to extend the notion of what it means to be human and to understand how theatre practice can change as a result. The project will be framed by researcher Constantin Vică's presentation, "Roboethics for Posthumans".

Festival of Love

Festival of Love (RO partner: Centrul Replika) is an interdisciplinary project involving activities within the fields of music, theatre and dance, linked by the theme of “love”. The music-centred activities will explore a selection of  songs and musical pieces about love in Polish traditions (e.g. Midsummer Night). The theatre activities will focus on Romanian amorous legends, dramas and folk stories. The choreographic performance will explore the Spanish understanding of love – solidarity and unity symbolized in the Sardana dance.

As part of the session, Bianca Floarea from the Romanian Creative Europe Desk will give a presentation on the future of the programme.

The CAMP roundtable is a set format, created to secure an open, honest and timely conversation based on six specific questions. 

Here, we use a 360-degree perspective, and we investigate the role of the agent, manager and producer as a vital facilitator for development and stability. CAMP allows colleagues to express, share and listen to the challenges and opportunities at hand. 

At previous CAMPS, we have even managed to motivate new sharings, which includes an up-to-date understanding of what the active producers bring to the industry and society. 

At this Danish edition of CAMP, we even reach across generations in a new initiative, meeting arts students from the Department of Dramaturgy, Aarhus University. We do this to motivate critical thinking within possible future Danish producers.

The idea of de-growth has emerged over the last 15 years dealing with the question whether infinite growth in a finite world is desirable or even possible. It tries to understand the convergence of today’s crises, argues that energetic, environmental, political and existential, economic and social crises are interconnected. It aims at exploring alternative and coherent solutions on different levels.

In the workshop led by Vincent Liegey, a Budapest-based French researcher, we first learn about the basic idea of degrowth, then think together about its implications and opportunities in our arts world.

On this evening, with the Industry Get-Together of the Independent Performing Arts Community, the decentralised IETM network meeting as well as the PRALIN cultural exchange, we are opening three of the largest networking events within the independent performing arts on multiple stages simultaneously - the cinema of Centre Français de Berlin as well as via a live radio stream to listeners at home as well as those out and about. 

All of this is enough reason to celebrate glamorously and put on wild (but of course in line with the regulations) media performance – at least, that’s what Gob Squad and Tina Pfurr think, and they have made an artistically inspiring framework for us for this hybrid gala. Together, they will create a live event at the end of which everyone will wish they had stayed at home but will still have managed a three part opening!

Martin Faucher was the director of the company Daniel Léveillé Danse from 1994 to 2014. President of the Conseil québécois du théâtre from 2005 to 2009, he worked on the Seconds États généraux du théâtre professionnel québécois, which took place in 2007. He has also contributed his time and skills to the Fondation Gratien-Gélinas, the Centre des auteurs dramatiques and Théâtre Bouches Décousues. Since 2017 he has been a regular guest commentator on the radio show Médium Large, broadcast by Radio-Canada’s ICI Première. An active promoter of theatre and dance, he campaigns for recognition of the work of artists, and ensures that the FTA offers them the best ethical and artistic conditions for the presentation of their works.

Martin Faucher arrived at the FTA in 2006 as an artistic consultant. He worked for eight years with Marie-Hélène Falcon before being named artistic director and co-executive director in 2014. Like his predecessor, his artistic programming reflects an insatiable curiosity for theatre and dance from all over the world, and he is constantly scouting for exciting new works. With a passion for history and driven by a desire to pass on know-how, Martin Faucher is a communicator and a pedagogue much appreciated by many generations of artists. He teaches on a regular basis at the National Theatre School of Canada, which gave him its Gascon Thomas Award in 2018.

In our corner of Australia we are in lockdown. We’re missing each other, and we’re missing you. So we’re inviting you to Common Ingredients - A digital dinner party with the world!

We’re talking about Zoom-time in the kitchen and the dining room on Friday 2 October from 19:00 to 21:00 AEST, sharing food and creativity with peers and colleagues far and wide, and having conversations about where we are, how we’re traveling and where we might like to go next. 

All participants are requested to organise some common ingredients from which you can prepare your own meal during the meeting (see the list below).

Across the evening we will facilitate small-group interaction to stimulate connections between members, during which we will situate, cook our meals, and eat together. Interspersed (of course!) with some short creative interventions from local members. 

This is a gathering not just for a local South-Eastern corner of Australia, but for us and beyond, well beyond. Maintaining and deepening our links.

Yes this is dinner time in Melbourne. But also an early dinner in Hong Kong, Taipei or Tokyo? Late lunch in Ekaterinburg? Lunch or brunch across Europe? A very early breakfast in São Paulo or a midnight sack in LA? Wherever you are in the world, if you’re awake and hungry, please join us!

Connect to the session

Max capacity:  100 participants

Things to prepare
 

The culinary connector for Common Ingredients is PESTO. 

What’s your thing when it comes to pesto? Pasta or salad? Toast or Eggs? Pecorino or Reggiano? Rocket?

Each of us will be preparing our own own pesto-driven meal. Simple evening pesto pasta? Pesto scrambled eggs for breakfast? Lunchtime vegetable-pesto panini or pesto chicken salad? And of course we all have our own variants on what makes for the perfect pesto. Go your own way and be prepared to share your secrets over the digital dinner table.

Shopping list

• Jar of pesto (make your own? what’s your variant? regional take?)
• Serve of pasta (or equivalent)
• Parmesan cheese (or equivalent)
• Olive oil (or equivalent)
• Salt, pepper etc
• Bottle of wine (or equivalent) *recommended, really!
• Other items as your heart and tastebuds desire

Common Ingredients starts at 11:00 CEST/19:00 AEST and we will be eating by 12:20 CEST/20:20 AEST, so plenty of time for everyone to cook/prepare their version of the pesto festa in their own kitchen over conversations with your international friends.

Yes we’ll all be cooking while we meet, so clear the bench and check the kitchen WiFi!

In times of uncertainty and change, it is essential to discuss the ways to build a culture of resilience and emphasize the significance of solidarity. Due to the pandemic, the performing arts organizations in Turkey and the rest of the world have come to a standstill. Perhaps, it is the perfect time to ask: “What Matters Now?”

This webinar aims to focus on the best practices in relation to resilience in Asian, Middle Eastern and Eastern European countries, which are in similar situations to Turkey. We will discuss the resilience of performing arts organizations, theatre managers, and the healing effect of performing arts on society during a post-traumatic period.

The programme will be in English but there will be simultaneous interpretation in Turkish.

When planning a tour, will financial sustainability always win over environmental considerations? Or can we work on making these 2 aspects meet, or at least getting closer to each other?

These questions are becoming even more burning with the exacerbation of the climate crisis and the Covid-19 situation. Bringing (a part of) our work as artists, curators, producers, even theatre technicians to the digital sphere often seems to promise an ultimate solution – what pros and contras can be mentioned for the digitalisation of artistic creation and dissemination?

We aim at stepping out from our performing art frame and tackle the question: how to establish (mutually beneficiary strategic) partnership between artists, producers and environmental organisations, to explore our relationship with landscapes, the science and the heritage, through the medium of art while taking account of major environmental issues?

What can be the benefits of such cross-sectorial collaborations for the environmental organisations and for us (artists and producers)?

Our discussion will start from the premise that every public statement already holds a political stand. And so does theatre. We wish to address the horizons of such political notions. 

How does contemporary theatre reflect the reality around us? Is it enough to merely represent political topics on the stage, or has the time come to fundamentally change the conditions of production and challenge power relations within the creative processes? On which grounds do we create relations with our audiences? Should our reflection on conditions of production already include a vision about involving audiences in the process and thus offer them a platform for the emancipation of their own position? How can we go beyond the notion of us and them, of us performing and then passively receiving in order to come closer to a more equal and community based process? Where is the space for democracy in theatre, especially if wish to overcome the economic transitions of some paying to watch and others being paid to perform? 

How can we deepen the perspectives and reflections of our work? How can we change the world with theatre?

Panelists, all longtime theatre workers, will offer their interesting insight into the perspectives and limitations of politics in theatre.

The industry-related meeting calls upon an active global performing arts community. We invite you to join this community building online session to meet peer to peer and address specific questions, starting from the point “What matters now?”.

The gathering will take off with a provocation rooted in a case addressing the producers' role in society. After this speech, we will explore the matter further in smaller breakout rooms and a feedback session.

In the last 30 minutes of the call, we will invest in socialising and raise a toast to the future!
