Transnational Co-production In Action / Meridians
Start date: May 1, 2011,
Seven of the leading arts festivals in Europe will work collectively to enable 8 performance companies, 4 established and 4 emerging, to explore creative practices with the outcome resulting in four new street arts creations aimed at outdoor audiences. The working processes, which will be shared with other organisations, will investigate and deepen intercultural dialogue within the arts in Europe in a direct and transferable fashion.The main goal of the project is to create an opportunity for young, emerging artists and companies to develop new performance pieces that investigate new artistic expressions in the field of street arts and in non-conventional venues, and to match these fresh companies with experienced creators in the field to assist the artistic process. To underpin the dissemination of the work produced, the leading arts festival form a supportive steering group to enable the management of the project to be facilitated, and to ensure that the resulting work is seen by millions of audience members across Europe.The seven organisations working in collaboration are Fira de Teatre al Carrer-ES, MiramirO-BE, Event International-GB, Ville de Mulhouse-FR, Inteatro-IT, St Patricks Festival-IE and Drustvo gledalisce Ane Monro-SI.
