Coffee Machine
Professional conversations
All year round, the team of LA SERRE – arts vivants gathers next to the coffee machine in the morning to discuss the planning of the day.
Echoing this tradition, during OFFTA, in collaboration with the networks La danse sur les routes du Québec and Les Voyagements-théâtre de création en tournée, we offer a series of five convivial meetings by videoconference to discuss perspectives in live art in light of the current crisis.
To do so, we invited inspiring colleagues, representatives of organizations that present and support creation from the local to the international level, to share their ideas on the issues that we will face in the future.
Based on the reflections proposed by emeritus professor Bruno Latour, we invited them to discuss the following questions:
What are we attached to? What do we wish to see disappear? What can we imagine and make for the live art of tomorrow?
