Fabulamundi Playwriting Europe - New Voices

closed

When youngsters go to the theatre it is usually to see «old» plays that do not concern them, whose subjects are far from their most urgent preoccupation. Fabulamundi Playwriting Europe has been working with European artists, professionals, and institutions along 10 years, supporting the careers of the playwrights invited to step into the network and promoting a diverse, equal, gender balanced, sustainable ecosystem for creativity. Fabulamundi - New Voices is the new edition of a successful history of cultural promotion in the name of European values and heritage, which aims to bring contemporary playwriting closer to the younger generations. Its objectives are: • To approach youngsters through creative writing: a huge program of 60 laboratories will be implemented to reach more than 400 youngsters. • To train professional playwrights on themes especially sensitive to young generations such as gender balance, sustainability and digitisation: a training programme with several conferences and round tables with experts, plus a cycle of 30 seminars on the internationalisation of playwrights. • To create an international community of playwrights: a complete set of online actions, plus a system of mobilities and exchange for youngsters and professionals are set up. Fabulamundi will innovate European playwriting by developing and testing a new methodology to create and train a new generation of playwrights, putting the dramaturgy into the spotlight, removing the barriers to the profession and integrating digital tools and results in the creation process. The methodology will be tested in 9 countries and implemented by a consortium of 13 organisations active in the field of theatre and dramaturgy, located in all the European regions (including the Western Balkans). It will also be assessed and disseminated by Culture Action Europe and European Theatre Convention, which will ensure its wide international outreach.
