    What are our superpowers?

    Each three years cycle of ASSITEJ is structured around a Dramaturgy. The Executive Committee have been exploring the many elements that pull together and need consideration to build this narrative. There have been rich conversations about experiences of the last cycle and what is needed as we continue to grow through our varied experiences of the pandemic.

    It is time for solidarity

    International fair cooperation, sustainability goals and what all this has to do with equity.

    The past year exposed the instability of artists globally, and as time went by, we observed that some countries created tools and disposed resources to help TYA artists who were forbidden or denied work for over a year. This was urgent and we can only be grateful for that. It is important though, not to lose from our sight the dramatic condition of artists in the Global South, and the emergency situation they are exposed to.

    Incipient Excitement

    An incipient excitement can be felt in many theatres, cinemas and museums in France these days: the third lockdown is over now and from the 19th, the audience will be able to return. The capacities in the venues and all kind of rooms will be very limited (35% of the usual ones) and the COVID rules will be heavy, but arts and culture are fully back at last!
    Meanwhile, in some parts of the world, artists are still deeply in the COVID crisis, as in India or in South America.

    Two currents mingle

    After the Congress Closing Ceremony I went to a wedding that took place where two waters meet - the river flowing into the sea the sea flowing back into the river. This particular spot is dangerous; shallow and turbulent and with a deceptively strong current, and people have drowned here. But the mingling of the waters at this point also creates the most nutrient rich water.
