The local Plenary meeting in Leeds, United Kingdom, will be MC'd by Miss Inform and hosted by Walking Talking Project, Slung Low, Leeds Dance Partnership and our members Irregular Arts and Ensemble 52. Please find below the introduction by the local hosts, as well as the local programme and practical information of the local meeting in Leeds.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: Due to the latest Covid-19 restrictions, the local meeting in Leeds has been cancelled. If you are registered for this meeting, you can either attend our online programme only or select another location to attend physically, in which case you can contact our Production Officer at francisca.salgueiro@ietm.org to change your registration.

Introduction by the local hosts

UK's Yorkshire-based IETM members invite regional artists, producers and programmers to a conversation about loss and discovery. Working with the invitation from IETM to address 'What matters now?', together we will explore what has been lost culturally during our Covid-19 lockdown and, crucially as we emerge to new ways of living together, what has been discovered or revealed as a new experience that contributes to artistic production and wellbeing.

Observing social distancing rules, this face to face meeting is MC'd by Miss Inform and hosted by Walking Talking Project, Slung Low, E52, Irregular Arts and Leeds Dance Partnership. It is an opportunity for networking, getting together with old friends and meeting new ones!  

Those attending in Leeds are invited to connect to IETM's Multi-location Plenary Programme in the run up to the gathering at Slung Low's home in the heart of the Holbeck community in Leeds, UK.

Maximum capacity: 30 participants

Programme

The on-site programme of the local meeting in Leeds prepared by the local hosts is complementary to the online participation in the IETM online programme, to which all the locations of the Multi-location Plenary will simultaneously connect on 1 and 2 October.

Participants in the local meeting in Leeds are therefore encouraged to attend the IETM online programme individually before joining the physical session in Leeds on Friday 2 October.

CEST: Central European Summer Time / BST: British Summer Time (local time in Leeds)
