Theatre practice is fast evolving across countries of the European Union. In nowadays theatre – and especially for the younger generations – there is no longer a clear predominant playing style. Influenced by the idea of post-dramatic theatre the traditional concept about text, play and scenery and thus the relation with the public, has drastically changed. Through crossovers with other disciplines, defined categories such as theatre, dance and music, confronted with the fine arts and new media, witnessed an evolution of their autonomous characteristics. Gathering 8 Theatre Academies from 8 different countries (with leader in NL), the Platform for European Theatre Academies (Pl.ETA) forms a strong “community of practice” aware of the latest evolutions in the sector and aware of the fact that theatre education is in principal aiming at the existing national practice. The partners in Pl.ETA want to explore via coproductions new ways to give young professionals a broader European orientation. Pl.ETA aims to use better the high-quality artistic production of the different trends in theatre practice across Europe. The aim of the project is to develop professional opportunities and artistic co-productions exploring the ways diverse theatre traditions can effectively converse and contribute to quality artistic diversity and creativity in Europe. The objective of the Pl.ETA is therefore also to create a new artistic value out of the interaction between various theatre traditions and specialties.
