IETM National Zoom Meeting - Romania
Dear colleagues from Romania,
I hope you are safe and not letting yourselves overcome by the new “theatre of crisis” the world has turned into without much warning. To tackle the Covid-19 crisis and to keep the spirits up, IETM has been organising a series of online meetings, an initiative I find useful. As part of their programme of National Zoom Meetings, I will gladly moderate a meeting dedicated to Romanian IETM members and non-members alike, from both the public and the private sectors. Duration: 1 h. Date and time: to be decided in case there is enough interest in this call. The format will be flexible. The meeting language can be Romanian. Some of the discussion topics I was thinking about:
- Describe briefly how each of us has been affected by the crisis.
- Share the measures we have taken or consider taking to mitigate the negative impact.
- Update each other on the measures already taken or at least proposed at national and European level to support the cultural sector.
- Propose other strategies (what can we do for each other or what others can do for us – the Government, the EU, international networks, etc.).
- Exchange ideas about the future of the performing arts.
- Anything else you might want to add on the agenda.
I know some of you have been very active, initiating national surveys (e.g. about the status of the independent sector) and not only – this is an opportunity to let more people know about your initiatives and their outcome.
Please comment on this post or email me at marina.hanganu@gmail.com if you would like to take part in this meeting. Afterwards, we will settle the date, time and Zoom access link.
Being a new IETM member and an emerging artist compared to some of you, who are established professionals, I hope I can facilitate a productive exchange between the experienced and emerging members of our artistic community.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
All the best,
Marina Hanganu
theatre director
artistic secretary at Teatrul Dramatic "George Ciprian" Buzău
