Concept
Embark on a purpose-driven post-meeting stay in the captivating city of Varna! The goal of this excursion is to form an advocacy group which is dedicated to exploring the creation of a specialised venue for contemporary dance and performing arts in this culturally rich locale.
Through this post-meeting trip in collaboration with IETM members Varna Dance Theatre, we aim to replicate the success of the IETM advocacy model, which initiated the construction of Toplocentrala in Sofia a decade ago.. Varna, nestled along the Black Sea coast, holds immense potential for fostering cross-border collaborations within the realms of music, theatre, dance and visual arts.
If you possess experience in or a passion for creating and maintaining venues, we invite you to join us on this journey. Together, let's contribute to the establishment of a new performance space in Varna, all while savouring the soothing ambiance of the sea and sun!
