COFAE WORKSHOP
Do you know everything a Fair has to offer?

To professionals
Schedule: from 10.30am to 12.30pm
Place: Online
Inscription: it is necessary to be accredited at the Fair and make the inscription to the workshop
Organized with COFAE

In collaboration with COFAE, a training capsule will be given that aims to share dynamics and strategies in reference to artistic content, market logic and work meetings in the space/time of a Performing Arts Fair.

We will ask ourselves how we can get the most out of a performing arts fair, since the fair model has evolved over time, becoming a program concentrated on a few specific days in a market and which, in recent years, has been complemented by an extensive program of professional meeting, mediation and transversal activities (networking, assemblies, book presentations, projects, workshops, exchanges, etc.)

Taking into account the reality of this format evolution and knowing the profile of the professionals who attend performing arts fairs, through the studies presented by COFAE, this training capsule is proposed.

The conductors / mediators of this workshop will be: Abigail Ballester Ariño, manager of the TTP, Professional Association of Theater for All Audiences of Catalonia

Margarida Troguet Taull, curatorial scenic manager and vice president of CoNCA, National Council for Culture and the Arts of Catalonia.
