Programme

The Festival Readings are an intense three-day introduction to artistic festival management. The Festival Readings aim to illustrate festivals as platforms with strong meanings for art, the artist and their place in society, paying close attention to context...For the Festival Readings, three internationally renowned and experienced festival leaders are asked to illustrate their work in detail. They stay the entire three days. Every day there’s a lecture by one of them and is followed by a discussion with the participants. During the Festival Readings, participants will attend performances programmed.

The Festival Readings are targeted at students of art and cultural management, dramaturgy and production staff members in governmental cultural departments and cultural institutions; and young people with specific motivation to attend. The first edition of the Festival Readings took place in 2013 in Romania during the Sibiu Performing Arts Open Market. In the meantime, 5 more Readings took place: two more in Sibiu (2014, 2015), in Yerevan - Armenia (2015) and Sochi - Russia (2016, 2017).
