The Seeds of Imanigation will build bridges between Russian and Finnish theatre professionals and institutes
The Finnish Theatre Information Centre will coordinate a new project ”Seeds of Imagination”, which builds bridges between Russian and Finnish theatres and practitioners.
The project activities are structured in two groups. The Learning & Sharing activities aim to offer theatre practitioners from both countries the opportunity to enter into dialogue, to learn from each other by sharing experiences and best practices. This happens in artistic master classes, seminars and workshops on playwriting, children’s theatre, translating etc. and in training on networking, international mobility and cultural management. The second strand of activities runs under the heading Reading & Performing and includes staged readings of plays and support for Russian-Finnish co-productions. The project also contributes to an international playwriting competition.
The flowers and trees the partners hope to see grow from the seeds of this project are lasting cooperation between cultural institutions and other performing arts organisations from all involved countries, increased capacity of performing arts professionals to deal with networking, mobility and management issues, improved access to information, texts, venues, people etc., a new play in Russian and artistic co-productions.
