Coffee Machines
Professional conversations
After last year’s success, the OFFTA Coffee Machines are back!
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 tree convivial videoconference meetings.
Inspired by theatre director Milo Rau’s Why theatre? publication, the OFFTA invites 15 participants, from local to international, to propose their answer to the question: Which hospitality? Based on the red thread of the program, these coffee machines will try to help us identify how to weave together hospitable environments.
To participate:
OFFTA’s Coffee Machines – Professional Conversations are open to arts and culture professionals with a pass (artists, cultural workers). The practical details of participation will be communicated to you a few days prior to the first meeting.
