ASSITEJ Spain creates an advisory committee for international festivals. This advisory committee will facilitate the search for international festivals interested in including Spanish shows in their programme.

The advisory committee is made up of external specialists, who will recommend Spanish shows according to the specific needs of those festivals that request it. They will objectively advise international festivals according to the nature of each festival or the proposal they are looking for. The members of this committee are Spanish programmers of recognized prestige, independents and not linked to companies or distributors.

From ASSITEJ Spain we encourage all interested festivals to send us their requests to schedule Spanish shows. The contact address is: assitejespana@assitej.net

ASSITEJ Spain participated in the XII International Congress ANILIJ. ANILIJ is the National Association for Research on Children’s and Young People’s Literature. This year it has been dedicated to the minority genres of Children’s and Young People’s Literature: poetry and theatre, under the title “The Margins of the Periphery: Creating, Editing, Researching and Translating Poetry and Theatre for Children and Young People”.

ASSITEJ Spain took part in the table “Creating, researching and editing children’s and young people’s theatre today”, where we debated the current state of dramaturgy in Spain. The Congress also had three plenary presentations, a round table with authors of poetry and children’s theatre, a poetry recital and other cultural activities like the presentation of publications, workshops and a literary route.
