Panel Discussion
Theatres of the Balkans– Cooperation at the Crossroads
We are pleased to invite you to the Panel Discussion „Theatres of the Balkans – Cooperation at the Crossroads“ that will be organized by the National Theatre in Niš and held on March 16th and 17th, 2019 as a part of the First International Festival Theatre at the Crossroads.
We believe that the Panel Discussion, thanks to the exhibition by theatre creators, theatrologists and theatre experts, but also by constructively confronting the opinions and attitudes of the participans, will point to specific points of possible cooperation of theatres and theatre creators from a wide area bounded by the Balkan historical influences, but also in the context of recent circumstances that have often been perceived by the general public as separation factors, and rarely as cohesion elements.
Given that the theatre always questions its own time, and it does it in specific spatial coordinates, we believe that this Panel will allow for establishing real opportunites of various forms of cooperation, as well as the exchange of relevant information, with an aim to hear questions concerning theatre audience in a much wider area compared to the one our individual theaters currently address.
At the same time, we are sure that this, and hopefully the future panels in Niš, will not only contribute to a more fruitful coopration and intensify creative contacts of theatres and creators who recognize each crossroads as a challenge, but will also contribute to even better profiling of our festival.
The potential forms of cooperation are recognized in a variety of new and different forms and they concern the following:
– Exchange of performances,
– Exchange and systematic translation of dramatic texts of contemporary authors,
– Fluctuation of theatre creators,
– Exchange of other theatre resources,
– Distribution of theatre information,
– Planning joint productions (co-productions),
– Cooperation within the Association of Regional Theatre Festivals,
– Cooperation within the Association of Theatre Critics and Theatrologists of Serbia,
…
Public discussion moderators will be Nebojša Bradić, theatre director, and Aleksandar Milosavljević, theatre critic and theatrologist.
Taking into account the theses mentioned here only as a rough framework, please define and send to us the specific topic of your presentation for the Panel. Presentations of the participants in the Panel will be prepared for printing and published in Serbian and English after the authorization in the proceedings that will be promoted at the next edition of the festival in 2020.
Looking forward to your positive response and expecting you to confirm your participation in the Panel by _____.
Sincerely,
Nebojša Bradić
Aleksandar Milosavljević
Members of the Council of the International Theatre Festival Theatre at the Crossroads
