The New Performance Turku Festival is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year on the weekend 3.-5.9.2021! To honour the past 10 years, we are inviting artists and visiting curators throughout the festival’s history to an online discussions series called NPT & Friends with performance artists, the festival team and audience in order to reflect this year’s festival theme – SURVIVAL. You are warmly welcome to take part in these discussions among friends!

Each of the NPT & Friends discussions will focus on a specific aspect of survival from the perspectives of practicing artists, the field of performance and Live Art and how we imagine their futures. What do we need to survive? How can we help each other to strengthen the field and its interconnections?

We are looking forward to having you at the discussions!
The language of the discussions is English.
You can attend all of the discussions here.
