PANEL #1 - New perspectives & strategies

activities
08 November
09:00 - 10:30
Hôtel Bonaventure
The last few years have seen considerable changes that have challenged our lifestyles, perspectives and strategies. New concepts have emerged, while others have evolved within this shaken ecosystem. Words and concepts clash such as touring and circulation, success and achievement, different notions of territories and niches, diversity or plurality, different notions of ecology, performers' and authors' work, continental or overseas touring. Do these new trends and understandings influence the way we think about our strategies and plans? How can we be inclusive and sustainable while taking care of our health and our ecosystem?
