Online Event: What’s emerging from 42 touring experiments across Europe?
* This event has ended, you can watch the recording below.
What if international touring could be a driver for artistic innovation, fair practice, inclusion, and ecological sustainability?
Over the past year, 42 performing arts projects across Europe have been testing just that. Through new ways of working — from co-creative formats and slow travel touring concepts to rethinking collaboration and production processes — these projects have explored how artistic and organisational practice can lead the way towards fairer and ecologically sustainable forms of international exchange.
As part of this process, representatives from the projects have been involved in the Perform Europe Learning Trajectory — a collective journey of reflection, peer exchange, and analysis. Now, during an online event, their lessons learnt are shared and reflected on together with a wider community of engaged professionals.
Join this open online event to:
- Discover a new strategy framework built from 42 real-world touring experiments;
- Explore impact stories — what’s actually changing on the ground;
- Hear directly from the professionals behind the Perform Europe projects as they share their dreams, challenges, and what they did differently;
- Take part in interactive breakouts to reflect on what this all means for the future of international exchange in the performing arts.
