EARS on Helsinki is all about co-operation, and this truly shows in our program for performing arts! There will be a whole new co-production project launched at the event, and we’ll also take a good look at export policies, regional touring networks, funding and multi arts festivals. As for discussions on rising phenomena, the possibilities of new technologies and productions for children will be worth your while! The performing arts program is produced in co-operation with CircusInfo Finland, Cirko – Center for New Circus and Dance Info Finland.
