PUSH+ DOELSTELLINGEN EN ACTIES

PUSH+ bouwt verder op PUSH (2017-2018), maar gaat dieper en verder. Hier geven we de doelstellingen en een overzicht van de activiteiten zoals in het dossier Creative Europe beschreven (vandaar de Engelse tekst):

PUSH+ has the following objectives

to initiate new artistic ideas in content and form
to diversify the project, increasing the cultural differences and contexts within it
to offer high quality opportunities for open-ended research alongside activity to directly support the development of new production ideas
to create space for voices and stories that are currently missing on our stages for children and young people
to challenge the sector – artists, programmers and festivals – to take more artistic risk
to enhance the international career opportunities for artists across artform, stage of career and background to connect with new collaborators, organizations and touring markets
to empower artists by equipping them with a European knowledge and perspective of artistic practice and thinking in the young audiences and performance sectors
to grow and develop the communities of interest around the PUSH and PUSH+ topics
to create visibility and value around the young audiences sector in Europe
to cultivate positive thinking, value and meaning around diversity in theatre and dance for young audiences
to strengthen partnerships to sustain future projects, collaboration and career progression
to focus on the wider ecosystem around the topics, progressing from an artist development perspective to open up ideas and provocations with presenters and audiences
to offer deeper exploration of themes through the Residency activity and through the involvement of some of the existing PUSH community
to encourage experimentation with specific performance formats – Participation, Site-specific and Intergenerational
to ensure strong ethos of partnership as PUSH+ activities are interconnected with multiple partner/country hosts working together on each topic
