In this symposium, framed in the context of the Creative Europe Project \u201cCommon Ground\u201d, we will invite artists, theatre-makers and researchers from Poland, Italy, Spain and Germany, among others\u00a0 to discuss the themes of this year\u2019s Winterwerft Festival and share insights into their work in their specific local context.<\/p>\n
In what metaphorical and non-metaphorical ways can we understand this \u201cground\u201d that is in the centre of both the EU Partnership and the Festival? What does it mean in each participant\u2019s field and place of work? What is the role of performing arts in the task of re-cultivating a sense of responsibility and connection to a place that goes beyond exclusive concepts like nation states?<\/p>\n
Special Guests from Serbia and Brasil will enrich the discussion with their perspectives.<\/p>\n

Something that can be shaped and molded to our liking, into which trenches and pits are dug and from within which all that keeps the machines of modernity running is extracted.<\/em><\/p>\n At the same time, we have lost any real connection to the soil that sustains us. Where our food, our livelihoods come from, how much we are tied into a web of human and especially non-human communities that depend, as much as ours, on clean water, air, fertile soil – but are at the same time the source of all these livelihoods – all this we no longer understand in a way that goes deep enough.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n About COMMON GROUND:<\/strong><\/p>\n With “Common Ground” we want to shift the focus back to our immediate surroundings, the city, the village, the landscape that sustains us and ask: What can we do, now and here?<\/em><\/p>\n It is time for us to return to our connection to our living space, to see ourselves again as rooted and connected beings, and to enter into dialogue with each other about reclaiming and reshaping this common public space.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The project aims to use the means of expressive arts and theatre to create these dialog spaces.<\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0Key terms: crisis resilience \/ local empowerment \/ transnational change networks<\/em><\/p>\n Common Ground unites four established and experienced players of the European Cultural Creative Sector (and two Junior partners with specific tasks), bringing together decades of experience with performing arts in public space and theatre education with local communities and vulnerable groups.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Language: English, no translations<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In this symposium, framed in the context of the Creative Europe Project \u201cCommon Ground\u201d, we will invite artists, theatre-makers and researchers from Poland, Italy, Spain and Germany, among others\u00a0 to discuss the themes of this year\u2019s Winterwerft Festival and share insights into their work in…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":6456,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","tags":[],"mec_category":[97],"class_list":["post-5986","mec-events","type-mec-events","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","mec_category-symposium-en"],"yoast_head":"\n
