Let’s Talk!
an informal meeting for theatre festival managers
18 July 2010, 2 p.m.
Szeged, Hungary
Within the frame of THEALTER international theatre festival, www.thealter.hu
THEALTER international theatre festival in Szeged, Hungary, celebrates its 20th edition this summer. The
programme of the festival focuses on independent, fringe theatre and dance productions, offering new and fresh,
exciting productions both from Hungary and from abroad, mainly form the Central-European region.
The festival is organised by MASZK Association, a small non-profit company that also offers high-quality cultural
events (theatre, dance, music, literature) in spring and autumn as well as manages small theatre companies and
supports young talents.
The organisers of THEALTER festival have recognised a need to widen their professional network and to look for
new ways to find partners for cooperating on an EU level. Countries from our region are still quite underrepresented
in the EU’s Culture Programme, for example, and they tend to be co-organisers and partners rather than project
leaders. Festival managers often find it also difficult to visit other festivals due to financial constraints.
Communication is more or less restricted to e-mailing, but there is no substitute for being there, sitting down
together and talking to each other.
Let’s Talk! is intended to be an informal meeting to gather representatives of theatre festivals and offer them a place
to meet and discuss ideas, on the third day of THEALTER festival.
The main objectives of the meeting are:
- to meet and talk in person
- to introduce festivals and their achievements
- to share experiences of international cooperation
- to discuss and find ideas for future cooperation
- to network, to build up further professional contacts
Thanks to the support of OSI – Open Society Institute, THEALTER festival can offer accommodation and two meals
a day for a limited number of participants, for about 10 managers, for a maximum of four nights. (Participants will
have to cover the costs of travel themselves.) Free tickets to the festival performances will also be provided.
In order to be able to choose those participants whose accommodation and meals will be provided by THEALTER
festival, we kindly ask festival managers who are interested to come to fill in a short application form.
Preference during the selection will be given to festivals:
- that mainly offer independent productions both from their home country and from abroad
- that take place in our region (Central-Europe, Eastern Europe, South-Eastern Europe, i.e. the ex-Socialist
countries)
- that have been running for more than five years
- that have a deep interest in cooperating on a European level
Deadlines:
Please fill in our application form and send it back to us to maszk@maszk.hu till 2 July 2010 the latest.
We will notify you on 5 July whether we can provide accommodation and meals for you.
Festival managers who would be interested to come even if THEALTER festival cannot cover their costs, and are
willing to fund their visit themselves, are obviously also welcome!
The programme of THEALTER festival is being finalised now. Please visit www.thealter.hu for updates and detailed
information regularly, or ‘like’ us on Facebook on https://www.facebook.com/thealter, where relevant information will
be posted in English, too.
In case you have questions, please feel free to contact us at maszk@maszk.hu.
We hope to meet you in Szeged!
