OPEN STREET FORUM IN BREMEN
Foundation of advocacy for open-air performing arts in Europe - Bremen 18th / 19th August 2011
Which forms of
organisation do we have in our countries, that can support us directly or represent
our work? What kind of cooperation do we need on
an European basis? How can we strengthen our position on a national and on an
international level? What are the individual benefits of our network? These are
questions to which all art operators attending the Bremen Festival "La Strada"
will try to find some answers. Gabriele Koch, Art Director of festival and co-organizer
of Open Street,gives her guidelines, in full respect of Open Street spirit,aiming
to the foundation of a brand new European advocacy in favour of open air performing
arts. Thu. 18th and Fri. 19th will be two intense full days of questions, solutions,
proposals, new paths in a single and shared direction, trying to involve as many
countries as possible on the way... the last two days of Forum, Sat. 20th and
Sun 21st,indeed, will be dedicated to our common neverending "hunger"
of good shows: thanks to the rich programme of Festival, our weekend will pleasantly
run away between street shows, galas and, of course, the Saturday night Festival
Party...the full list of appointments is available cliking on herebelow link.

OPEN STREET
INTERNATIONAL SHOWCASE 2011 EDITION
The offical call for participation to
2011 edition is now available...
The
coordination of Open Street Project informs
that is now available the official participation
call for the second edition of the Open
Street International Showcase, programmed
in Fermo and province (IT) from 13th to
16th October 2011, and opened to all European
artists and companies. Also the Second edition
of Open Showcase mantains its particular
structure and its original procedure for
participation: the artists will have the
opportunity to be selected, by inserting
a video of their shows, and be part of the
official programme of Showcase (20 shows).
These 20 companies will have all accommodation
expenses covered and will obtain a refund
for coverage of travel expenses, which is
quite unusual in occasion of showcases,
where artists usually have to pay all costs.
Further 30 artists or companies will have
the opportunity to participate to the Off
section. In this case the coordination is
able to offer special low-cost accommodation
and meals solutions to all participants,
as well as all free showcase structures
and services. The "Art Direction"
of showcase is indeed the whole group of
European art directors willing to attend
to showcase: they will take part the online
selection of all participating video and
will vote the more interesting shows, (not
necessarily the "best" ones…),
shared by dimensional category. The final
rank of votes will determine the group of
20 shows of official programme. All info
and documentation regarding registrration,
rules for participation, adhesion for art
operators etc. is available on website:

RESULTS
ACHIEVED BY 1ST OPEN INTERNATIONAL SHOWCASE
Many
companies selected in occasion of first
OPEN INTERNATIONAL SHOWCASE:
Awaiting the 2011 edition of the Open
International Showcase in Fermo (IT) we
were wondering "how much" artists
and companies have been able to obtain
out of the 2010 edition, in terms of performances
scheduled by art operators for the 2011
season. Talking to operators used to stroll
Europe attending to international showcases,
we were ready to be pessimistic: many
of them told us of how little they were
able to find even in occasion of huge
showcases, and how they often returned
home with maybe one / two good performances
booked out of hundreds of proposals...Trying
to find an answer, we thought to (another!)
new initiative, something we believe was
never been implemented before by any other
showcase: the data collection of shows
programmed for 2011 events by operators
attended to 2010 showcase, and make this
report public. The result is truly encouraging:
35 operators across Europe have programmed
over 120 performances of European
(and not only) solo artists or companies.The
list of shows programmed thanks to the
1st Open International Showcase is available
by clicking on below link. The data only
include operators and artists who were
present in Fermo, without taking in consideration
the "online" showcase: the collection
of over 250 videos often used by
many operators to find new proposals to
be programmed in their events. Out of
it, thanks to the visibility of videos
on Open Street website, we have info that
also further companies were programmed
for 2011 events. A good wish for the
second edition!
