Connecting the Separated – Reopening European Theatres
These are troubled times. The future is very uncertain for theatres: how can theatre respond to the current crisis and limit its impact? When will we reopen, and will the audience return? How will we need to adapt to the ‘new normal’? These urgent questions will be addressed during the next ETC International Theatre Conference, which will take place online. Although we will not be able to meet in person, ETC will remain a place for you to discover, network and exchange on best practice.
ETC International Theatre Conferences are open to members and invited guests. The panel discussion on Thursday morning will be live-streamed thanks to our partnership with Howlround Theatre Commons.
All times indicated are in Central European Time (GMT+2). Last update: 03 June 2020.
