Nothing ventured… nothing gained
Thurs 6 June 2-5pm Theatre in the Mill/Bradford University Fri 7 June 2-5pm Site Gallery, Sheffield This 2 day seminar programme on sharing models of international exchange, brings curators and practitioners from across Europe to meet with curators, programmers, producers, academics, practitioners from the Yorkshire region. The seminars will be of interest to those working in the contemporary visual arts, performing arts, live art and those working across disciplines. In today’s climate, it is more and more essential for us to look outwards, beyond our borders, to take risks and undertake challenging and transformative projects together. The programme will bring people from different cultures and backgrounds together, to share, listen, reflect and manifest new ideas and approaches, maintaining a generosity of spirit and being open to the possibilities of collaboration. It is directed by Sarah Spanton (www.waymarking.org.uk) and is part of the Compass Live Art programme (www.compassliveart.org.uk).
