Description
The project DIALOG will include multiple events that, regardless of their form (performing arts, photography, cultural circuits and so on), will share the same thing - promoting the cultural identity of communities and diversifying the cultural offer. In the case of theater, dance and contemporary performance, the identified needs include production support, attracting and developing the public, and increasing cultural consumption. Thus, in order to meet these needs, we are proposing the Caleido Performing Arts Festival, a continuously developing festival that promotes cultural diversity. Through the Walk & Shoot festival, we want to increase cohesion in the photographic community and to develop the audience for photography. And last but not least, actions promoting material heritage are typically formal and unattractive. We propose an alternative, through which the heritage (community fountains in Oltenia) will be promoted through performing arts. Thus, we aim to strengthen intercultural dialogue and increase public access to culture through a program of events focused on promoting multiculturalism and cultural diversity
Summary of project results
Promoting multiculturalism and increasing access to culture was achieved through the production of the show "APR" (Adoration of the Radical performance, which conveys a message of awareness regarding the discrimination of those who are different, the running of the Caleido festival, which included 20 online performances, of which benefited a number of 3335 participants, and the organization of a tour with 7 performances of two of the performances of the Caleido festival, attended by 547 spectators. Supporting the community of photographers in Romania was achieved by organizing the Walk&Shoot photography festival (which included 10 photography workshops and 10 walks) - a festival that facilitated the exchange of information between professional photographers and amateur photographers, in which 391 people took part. Also, in collaboration with the Norwegian partner, a photography workshop was organized for 11 young photography enthusiasts. The results of the workshop were used to create the artistic installation "Sera / The Greenhouse".
Summary of bilateral results
The collaboration with the artist Lise Wulff went well. Although the pandemic made it difficult to implement sub-activities 3.2 Bilateral workshop and 3.4 Post-festival events - the two sub-activities that required Lise''s involvement - the three partners found together the optimal solutions so that the indicators and activities assumed in the project to be fulfilled.
