Rencontres professionnelles LAPAS

LAPAS is a French national network set up in 2013 to bring together the professionals – chiefly in the areas of production, administration and dissemination – who provide day-to-day assistance to performing-arts artists in the independent sector.

LAPAS Lyon and AuRA are holding two new events as part of the Lyon Dance Biennale, featuring guests with complementary profiles, around producing and supporting artists’ projects in the French-speaking space and in the Alps.
These events are held as part of a wider examination by LAPAS of the international issue.

↳ Each event starts with a round table, open to all; then, members-only workshops with guest professionals explore more deeply.

ROUNDTABLE & WORKSHOP: COLLABORATIONS AND PROSPECTS IN THE ALPINE SPACE
ARTISTS AT TRANSALPINE LEVEL? Lyon is at the heart of a trans-border region with Switzerland and Italy, which prompted us to hold this event around collaborative possibilities in this region in terms of producing and supporting artists. We’re neighbours, but do we really know each other? Do we collaborate (enough)? What kinds of co-operation can companies envisage (co-productions, residencies, participatory projects...)? What’s the outlook for projects between artists, producers and distributors?

→ Mon 7 June at CND Lyon, 40 ter rue Vaubecour, Lyon 2
→ Public round table, 2-3.30pm, registration required: contact@lapas.fr
→ Members-only workshop with guest foreign professionals, 4-6pm, registration required: contact@lapas.fr

ROUNDTABLE & WORKSHOP: PRODUCING, DISTRIBUTING AND COOPERATING IN A FRENCH-SPEAKING TERRITORY
Lyon and Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes are located at a European junction that includes the neighbouring French-speaking region of Switzerland, with which many ties already exist. The Dance Biennale also attracts many professionals from other French-speaking countries in Europe, Africa and North America. We thus propose to discuss our respective production arrangements (differences and similarities), co-operation possibilities, and the benefits of collaboration between the partners of this French-speaking space.

→ Tue 8 June, 9.30am to 1pm, at CND Lyon, 40 ter rue Vaubecour, Lyon 2
→ Public roundtable, 9.30-11am, registration required: contact@lapas.fr
→ Members-only workshop with guest foreign professionals, 11.30am to 1pm, registration required: contact@lapas.fr
