ROUND TABLE ' Mapping of other artistic circuits for emerging artists: performing arts
Activity focused on giving tools to emerging artists, with the aim of being able to explore other artistic circuits. Through the different dialogues of professionals, we will know spaces of creation, calls and spaces of residence, moving away from conventional artistic routes. We will share different interesting, accessible and alternative proposals that can challenge and support emerging projects.
