Bus trip to the Waves Festival
Active Knowledge – From festivals to international fairs /// WAVES Xtra
Panel discussion, info session, workshop, street performances, night bar and much more. Join the Development Platform for a whole day’s visit at the Waves Festival in Vordingborg. The programme of the day will focus on activating and sharing knowledge about how to work strategically within the setting of a festival or fair, using it as a stepping stone for working internationally.
The day aims to enhance international competencies and is targeted at producers, managers, artists, self-producing artists and organizations.
Programme:
08.50: Bus departure CPH Ingerslevsgade – Good Morning peers!
10.20: Arrival at Waves / Vordingborg – Welcoming by the Waves Festival
10.30 – 12.30: SESSION 1: Creative Values and Plans
How can you benefit from the creative value a festival setting offers you? And use this as a strategic perspective on planning and operations? We ask these questions from a producers / or self-producing artists point of view, and we invite visiting Festival directors and touring arts managers or producers to engage in an openhearted conversation on issues related to artistic formats, audiences, development and survival in the marketplace.
This session will be a reflection on approach, passion and policies and will leave you with insights on how you can develop and/or renew your practice. The conversation will explore the global and local context by welcoming different voices and experiences to the panel and session.

Updates from the Marketplace
We continue the day by exploring specific international fairs and platforms. Destinations some of you know or festivals you are interested in knowing more about. We argue that relationship building, and distribution are part of the creative process, and we wish to explore how you continuously match the specific nature of your performing arts product with the best possible setting to further development, exchange and sales. The session will be a mix of focus presentation and conversational exchange to give input to your own practice and toolbox.
