Longhouse Goes Global
COVID has forever changed the way we think about borders and connection, and that's had a huge impact on the performing arts. In CAAP's next Longhouse, we explore the reality for artists in Australia and China who want to connect and collaborate.
In this current climate, where cross-cultural interaction matters more than ever, what opportunities are available for building capacity, sharing knowledge, artistic exchange and collaboration? What are the challenges, best practices, and success stories?
Join Longhouse Co-ordinator Jennifer Wong in this timely and insightful online conversation with (L-R):
- Bergen-based performance curator Wang Jingyi
- Naarm (Melbourne)-based multidisciplinary artist Roshelle Fong
- Beijing-based theatre director Wang Chong.
Monday 7 June 6pm-7.30pm (AEST)
This event has now finished.
The Longhouse is CAAP’s networking and information-sharing platform. This edition of Longhouse Goes Global has been assisted by the Australian Government through the Australia Council, its arts funding and advisory body and the National Foundation for Australia-China Relations.
