More than 44 activities, 19 speakers and 20 performances by leading dance, theatre and circus companies give shape to the event, entitled ‘Crossroads’. The international meeting aims to address current challenges faced by performing arts and empower cultural agents from the industry through exchanging ideas with agents from other countries. Topics up for debate include: the relationship with the audience; digital transcendence and live performance; diversity and inclusion; social art; sustainability within the industry; and the value of arts within the society.
