Diversity of Cultural Expressions

World Observatory on the Social Status of the Artist

Call for applications for the 7th edition of the Creative Forum for Independent Theatre Groups Europe- Mediterranean (1- 10 February 2010)

An initiative by I-act and the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, Alexandria (Egypt)

The Creative Forum for Independent Theatre Groups (Europe- Mediterranean) is a platform for contemporary theatre. Since its first edition, the Forum has been an artistic and cultural phenomenon which takes place in the ancient city of Alexandria.

One of its major axes is the concept of anti-festival, for the Forum is a space for artists. The Forum has always aimed at achieving an interdisciplinary approach in which creativity, education, dialogue, knowledge, publications, translation and building joint projects between artists from different generations and backgrounds are blended together.
This is achieved through the following axes:
• Performances,
• Educational programmes,
• Publication programmes.

This Forum is a mean to highlight and confirm the importance of cultural diversity, knowledge exchange, and the essential role both play in the continuation of life itself, on social, political, educational and creative levels.

Application and material entered for the selection must arrive by 15 October 2009. Final results will be announced by 30 October 2009.
