BAVARIAN DELEGATION AND BAVARIAN SHOWCASE IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC
5.-9. 6. 2023
We are sending a group of 21 professionals from the field, including curators or dramaturgs of festivals and theatres, artists from the field of dance and performers, to the Czech Republic theatres. Our goal was to create a group with different experiences, cities in which they operate, practices and needs and expectations from international cooperation.
The delegation first stopped in Pilsen, where the participants visited the premises of Moving Station and DEPO2015. Then, the participants moved to Prague to attend the international conference of the European Association for Independent Performing Arts. In addition, individuals had the opportunity to visit selected Czech performances, the opening of the Prague Quadrennial. The curatorial team of the platform also organised several individual meetings for them, in which they could get to know colleagues with similar practices from the Czech Republic. There was also a meeting with the Minister of Culture of the Czech Republic.
From the summarizing parts of the short reports of the participants, we can read that the trip had a strong impact on their awareness of what is happening in the Czech Republic, that it was an essential source of inspiration and gave rise to several ideas on how to translate the experience into work in the Bavarian environment. It was equally important for the participants to get to know their Bavarian colleagues, spend time with them and learn about their activities.

BAVARIAN SHOWCASE IN BOHEMIA
The delegation's arrival was connected with the presentation of three performances by Bavarian artists. We mainly wanted to show the Czech audience and colleagues from the field what contemporary performing arts looks like in Bavaria. With this in mind, the Bavarian party has selected performances from the fields of performance, theatre and the new circus.
