In the year of CBTIJ/ASSITEJ Brazil’s 25th anniversary, we are pleased to announce this call for the ASSITEJ Regional Workshops that will take place from April 21st to 23rd, 2020, in the city of Rio de Janeiro. This project has the partnership of ASSITEJ Cuba, ATINA – ASSITEJ Argentina and the Iberoamerican Network of Performing Arts for Young Audiences, and was chosen in an international call by ASSITEJ.
ASSITEJ Regional Workshops aim to:
* offer equal opportunity, skills and knowledge for Theater for Young Audiences practitioners in regions that struggle to get access to high level professional development in particular aspects of TYA;
* give TYA artists access to high level professional development in their own region;
* be a meeting point for regional networking and exchange;
* support the work of national centers as offering tangible benefits to members
CBTIJ/ASSITEJ Brazil, ASSITEJ Cuba and ATINA – ASSITEJ Argentina invite Iberoamerican artists to apply for the two artistic workshops that will be offered in this project:
* Theatre for Early Years, with Adrian Hernández Arredondo and José Agüero, from Teatro Al Vacío (Mexico-Argentina), members of Vincular – Latin American Network of Scenic Creation for the Early Years and Small Size;
