Full online programmeBelow is the complete online programme of our Satellite Galway. Note that registration for the overall meeting is mandatory. The links to connect to the networking activity and working sessions will be sent to registered participants only close to the meeting date. The schedule below includes a networking activity, working sessions, as well as an artistic programme combining new pieces especially produced for this meeting (marked as Artistic programme in the schedule) and a mix of existing pieces, kindly made available by Galway 2020 and the Galway International Arts Festival (marked as Parallel activities in the schedule). We have suggested screening times, which we believe will enhance the experience of the meeting, but all performances are available to watch on demand and it will still be possible to watch them after the meeting. Important: The schedule below is in Central European Time (CET). Please make sure to correctly convert it in your local time. Example: 12:00 CET = 11:00 GMT (local time in Galway) |
