Thursday 16 May morning session: Perspectives
Inspired by Woman at Point Zero by Bushra El-Turk, Laila Soliman & LOD, we saw this morning as women’s perspectives to realize then that by singling out, we exclude. What perspectives are heard and amplified? And what voices that supposedly fall outside the norm need space to grow?

For this morning, we changed the traditional format of presentation into a round space of exchange. In small groups moderated by women (and those who identify as women) artists, directors, and decision-makers we will sit with what they bring to the table, a perspective that is near and dear to them.

With: DEVOTION – Andrea Voets || How to develop a female vocabulary in opera? – Jorinde Keersmaat || Sarah Crabtree – Engender Royal Opera initiative || A visionary composer by nature and nurture – Eva van Manen || COLLECTIVITY IN ART – Joske Koning || Bushra El-Turk

Thursday 16 May afternoon session: CURARE
Delving into the essence of curation, we explore its roots through etymology, contemplating its dual nature as both a verb for content selection and a noun for practices of care when collaborating with communities. In both cases, the institutional responsibilities towards those who applly to an open call, or engages in a project are tangible and mostly silent or seemingly invisible. How can we bring awareness into power structures and be more transparent?

We will hear insights from the selection process by MTNow competition jury members, 4 women from 4 corners of the globe, who navigated 200 applications. In addition, two MTNow-selected projects collaborated with non-professionals will share their process, results, and plans: Halleluja by Fleur Khani & the Khani Foundation and At Your Doorstep by MarketTheatre & Theater Bielefeld.

With: Halleluja  – Fleur Khani (BE) || At Your Doorstep by MarketTheatre (ZA) & Theater Bielefeld (DE) – Robert Lehmeier || History of the Present – Maria Fusco (UK) ||
Black Lodge – Beth Morrison Projects – David T. Little (US) || The Urban Tale of a Hippo – Operamania – Andrius Katinas (LT)
