Cultural Mobility Symposium 2015—Climate, Action, and Cultural Collaboration—January 7, 2015
Channel: HowlRound Theatre Commons
Date: 2015-01-10

Climate, Action, and Cultural Collaboration

Anchor: Elizabeth Doud, Program Coordinator, Performing Americas Program, National Performance Network

Co-Moderator: Chantal Bilodeau, Playwright, The Arctic Cycle

If international cultural mobility is increasingly valuable, it can also be surpassed by the pressing concerns we feel about world-wide and local ecological sustainability. Our international links and dialogues might make us the ideal networks for the climate conversation ahead. How do international artists see themselves in the climate change debate? What can theatre and performance artists offer in the short and long term fight for our global survival?

The Martin E. Segal Theatre Center in New York City is creating, in collaboration with the European cultural mobility information network On the Move and the U.S.-based grass-roots international network Theatre Without Borders, a free and user-friendly guide to funding for international exchange for artists traveling to and from the USA. This guide builds upon On the Move’s existing guides for artists and cultural professionals in Europe, Asia, and Arab countries.

Join us for the official launch via the global, commons-based peer produced HowlRound TV network at HowlRound.TV of the Cultural Mobility Funding Guide for the USA: Theatre, Performing Arts, and Dance. The launch will initiate a full day symposium featuring presentations from funders, case studies, panel discussions, working sessions, and coffee breaks with networking opportunities for international practitioners and service organizations.

Tune into HowlRound.TV on Wednesday, January 7, 2015 from 10am EST to 5:30pm EST. In Twitter, direct comments @SegalCenter and use #USCulturalMobility.
