Everyone feels secure with answers, but what we have now are questions and pathways for exploration: What’s happening? Will this work? What will be the effect of this action, of this policy, of this project? Our challenges? Our public is changing; our partners are changing; the spaces where we meet our public are changing; our economy (from where we get our resources, and how they are used) is changing: creative answers, please!

IETM meetings

Spring Plenary Meeting in Berlin, 15 - 18 April 2010

Reports
The ash cloud arrived just on time over mainland Europe to try to spoil the opening of the IETM Spring Meeting, but could not stop 576 performing arts professionals from attending a fantastic Search for Plan C. It actually seemed more difficult for participants to return to their 48 home countries, than to spread out their creative ideas, if we judge by the 37 reports of the working groups organised spontaneously during the Open Space "What is your Plan C?", as well as by the results of the participants' feedback.
 

Photos and video
You can check out the photo gallery of the meeting, and the short film made by local organisers at the event, to get an idea of the creative informal atmosphere of the meeting.
 

 

IETM Satellite Meeting in Asia, 14 - 20 June 2010

The next IETM event will take place quite some distance from Europe: artists and cultural operators from Europe and Asia are invited to meet up in Jakarta and Yogyakarta to discuss the different production practices in both regions.

 

Autumn Plenary Meeting in Glasgow, 4 - 7 November 2010

IETM members will meet for the second time in 2010 in Glasgow, Scotland, under the theme "Voices". This short melodic introduction might make you want to join us?

Focus Point

Mobility

The four pilot projects on artistic mobility (Practics, Space, Changing Room and e.Mobility) produced together some recommendations for the European Commission and the Open Method of Coordination, upon mobility concerns. These recommendations are currently being re-edited to be presented along with concrete proposals during the consultation on the Culture Programme 2014-2020.

 


Internal Affairs of IETM

At the Spring Plenary Meeting in Berlin, IETM members adopted a new Board of Directors, and Advisory Members were chosen to work on the long-term vision for the network.
