SOURCE aims at creating new artistic and participative adventures for artists, audiences as well as for the partners. Experimentation, innovation and exchange are at the core of our project and partnership managed by the Theatre National de la Communaute francaise. The short format (5 to 25 minutes) in theatre, dance, puppet shows, object theatre, circus… is an ideal format to bring about the emergence of innovative contents, languages and practices. The festivals and highlights dedicated to the short format are privileged opportunities for the constitution and training of new generations of artists and audiences. They are also particularly relevant for the development of a new model of production and dissemination.The partners want to support and promote the short format as a:- platform of experimentation and innovation- platform fostering the creation of new scenic writings- space of encounter between the audience and contemporary scenic writings- facilitating tool for artists (promotion, dissemination of their works).Through the commissioning of 8 short creations, 24 conferences and 16 reports made by young people, our work aims at:- creating a new corpus of multidisciplinary, cross-sectoral and European works- fostering artists’ cooperation on a European scale- reinforcing European mobility- strengthening the links between creators and civil society- working on audience-development, targeting underrepresented audiences- building capacities for artists, audiences, associates and partners.The partnership gathers theatres and festivals, societies of authors, universities, schools and media (television, radio, newspaper and information website) active in the public arena. They join forces to support innovation, creation and knowledge-sharing, to serve a common goal: to narrate today’s world and strive for the constitution of a more equal and inclusive society.The partnership will be continually evaluated throughout the project, in order to prepare its optimisation and future extension.
