*SPACE - Supporting Performing Arts Circulation in Europe* *Pilot Project for Artist Mobility*
*December 2008 – November 2011* Ten national cultural institutions with an international policy and practice created a new platform, dedicated to Support the Performing Arts Circulation in Europe: SPACE. The members of SPACE share a position in between politics and the artistic field in their own countries, work as centres of information, promote the (performing) arts on a national and international level and are experienced in supporting and running European cultural projects. They share the belief that one of the cornerstones of a European Cultural Policy is to facilitate the circulation of (performing) arts across Europe, and also realize there are still a lot of imbalances in this transnational arts sphere, between countries, regions, artists, disciplines and cultural operators. The SPACE project’s objective is to give priority to the mobility of arts productions and to combine cultural mobility with cultural diversity, European citizenship and investing in emerging generations. Still a young initiative, SPACE will enlarge the network while implementing the different activities of the multi-layered project. *For the last training program in three year project, WRITERS ON THE MOVE, addressed to professional writers on performing arts (journalists, trainings, theoreticians), deadline extended to apply from November 7th to November 14th.* Aims of the training are to question the idea of mobility by investigating the way to look at foreign artworks, to rethink the position of Art Critic today in order to find new ways of thinking and writing about Art for a new public – as a way of »answering through practice«, to improve knowledge about international work in the performing arts and its questions in terms of aesthetics, new forms and genres.
