PAF &friends Visit

During this year’s edition of the Berlin Performing Arts Festival, a nationwide delegation of artists working in the independent performing arts has been invited to experience the festival together within the scope of the association format &friends Visit. Together, they will explore the aesthetics and working methods of the productions of the festival, attend workshops and communication programs, discuss their own practices and take part in a variety of networking events. This result in the creation of a space for artistic exchange, further development and the initiation of long-term collaborations.
