Creative Forum – Lisbon, Portugal
PLATFORM shift+ is a 4 year programme, supported by the EU Culture Fund, Creative Europe connecting 11 cultural partners across Europe to meet the challenges and take the opportunities of producing theatre work for young people in an age when they as audiences and participants move fluidly between their real and virtual lives.
We aim to enable theatre-makers to connect with and reflect young people’s reality and inspire them with a belief in theatre as a unique live medium for modern times.
Alongside the development and production of 40 theatre texts and concepts over the 4 years, a programme of 13 Creative Forums will take place between 2015 and 2018.
These will be held in:

These interdisciplinary Creative Forums will support, encourage and inspire the transnational exchanges of artists and their works through foregrounding the most innovative practices, case studies, and responses to the growing use of technologies in everyday life and the arts.
We will bring together a series of speakers of all ages, professions, and experiences, working across a range of fields, to explore the ways in which emerging technologies continue to reflect, shape, and inspire the world around us.
Our aim is to provide a platform for constructive, interdisciplinary conversations on existing practice, to discuss new avenues of potential development, and to promote interest and growth in this exciting and important aspect of theatrical practice.
