These panels bring together festival directors, curators, programmers, producers, and institutional leaders working across performing arts organisations in Asia-Pacific and Europe. They explore how performing arts works are selected, produced, and supported, and how they move through organisations, collaborations, and networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The overall discussion focuses on how artistic decisions are shaped in programming, and how it is sustained through both programming decisions and the systems that allow it to circulate and continue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Panel 1: Programming and How Works Are Selected <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

This panel looks at how programming decisions are made in practice. It focuses on how festival directors, curators, and programmers select works, and what shapes these choices, including artistic direction, audience context, resources, and institutional priorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bringing together Jeff Khan (Asia TOPA: Asia-Pacific Triennial of Performing Arts), Shireen Abdullah (Esplanade \u2013 Theatres on the Bay), Quentin Carrissimo-Bertola (Les Francophonies \u2013 Des \u00e9critures \u00e0 la sc\u00e8ne), and Paul Rondin (Cit\u00e9 Internationale de la langue fran\u00e7aise), the panel gathers festival directors and programmers working across different institutional and curatorial contexts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The discussion examines how programming decisions are made across different settings, and how programmers balance artistic relevance, institutional expectations, and practical constraints such as resources and production conditions. It also considers how these decisions shape what is presented and further developed, and how the same work can be understood differently depending on who programs it and in what context.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Panel 2: Producing and Supporting Performing Arts Works <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

This panel focuses on what happens after a work is created: how it is produced, developed, and supported over time through the systems around it. It looks at how artistic work is sustained through co-production, partnerships, and long-term collaboration between festivals, venues, and cultural networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bringing together Adrien de Van (Th\u00e9\u00e2tre Paris-Villette), Peangdao Jariyapun (BIPAM), Rama Thaharani (Kelola Foundation \/ Indonesian Producer Network), and Marie Sorbier (Producer, France Culture), the panel gathers producers and institutional actors working across production structures, programming support, and collaborative networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The discussion explores how works are developed and sustained beyond their initial creation through collaboration between institutions, networks, and platforms. It also considers how these systems shape the long-term trajectory and continuity of performing arts works.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
