CONFLICT ZONES | ZONES DE CONFLIT

We strongly believe that events aiming at producing structuring effects on the theatre sector should always be closely connected to ARTISTIC WORK itself. And important artistic work is always linked closely to HUMAN SOCIETY.Sharing this conviction we decided to unite under a common axis of research and build a programme of artistic events tackling the theme of CONFLICT ZONES.All across Europe and beyond performances dealing with this issue will be presented in the period between 2014-2017 in the context of international festivals and showcases and will provide the pillar of all the UTE activities for theatre professionals.- Events particularly intended for the UTE members and the development of their projects: General Assemblies, Project-development meetings, including professionals from other sectors, Public meetings to reflect on important topics regarding the European Theatre sector.- Conferences on the Structures of Public Theatres in Europe and the Mediterranean; on Translation, Subtitling and Dubbing; Intercultural Journalism and Nomadic Audiences.- A programme of training and knowledge-sharing activities for young professionals: Masterclasses, Think-tanks (for stage directors, playwrights, journalists), Meetings of Young Spectators and artistic residency programmes.- Inlay-Festivals and Readings to showcase the work of UTE members and young professionals.- The creation of an Online Theatre Journal, providing articles (in original language and English) written by young journalists working across Europe.- The publication of two research-studies on the State of Theatrical Affairs, which will provide a useful tool for theatre professionals and policy makers working at the European level.- The implementation of subtitling activities, promoting linguistic diversity.- And finally, the re-implementation of the UTE Card, providing travelling spectators with the possibility to build their own itinerary through a programme of artistic events across Europe.
