11 - 13 May 2023
JK Opole Theatre, Opole, Poland

Celebrating European Theatre

The European Theatre Forum will be the stage for a new roadmap for making Europe’s theatre sector more sustainable, equitable and better equipped to face current and future challenges. This roadmap will build on the 2020 Dresden Declaration.

It follows the previous theatre forum organised in 2020, the successful Perform Europe pilot (2019-2022) and the 2020 study ‘The situation of theatres in the EU Member States’.

Objectives of the 2023 European Theatre Forum

The organisers set three goals for the forum, in order for the theatre sector to remain relevant in the future:

  1. address the geopolitical and climate-related crises and their implications for the sector
  2. address sustainable, digital and social challenges and practices in the sector
  3. develop and adopt a comparable sustainability assessment tool for the whole sector to measure and reduce its carbon footprint

 

Masters of ceremony

The masters of ceremony of the forum will be

Ian de Toffoli and Nataliia Syvanenko
