\nAbout the performing arts think tank Baltic Current<\/strong><\/p>\n

Baltic Current is a platform for mutual learning, sharing of expertise and support for the next generation of performing arts practitioners from the Baltics. It consists of a series of workshops that are designed to nurture artistic practice and understanding of the current performing arts environment in the Baltics as well as encourage communication, networking and collaboration among participants. The workshops will take place in the theatre \u0122ertr\u016bdes ielas te\u0101tris (Riga), the Kaunas City Chamber Theatre and the festival Starting Point as well as in the performing arts platform S\u00f5ltumatu Tantsu Lava (Tallinn).
\nThe think tank consists of four in-person and two online meetings, which are designed to actively involve participants in the co-creation of shared knowledge. The activities will encourage participants to build up resilience, articulate limits, learn to dare and challenge themselves, develop habits and practices that serve their human and artistic identity. The participants will have the support of experienced international mentors from the performing arts field. Throughout the programme the participants will develop joint creative proposals to present at a pitching session at the end of the programme.
