Next Stage Initiative
We were pleased to welcome the five representatives of this year's Next Stage Grant recipients to update us on their projects that are driving sustainable, inclusive, and digital transformation of the opera and dance sector on, behind and beyond stage.
The Next Stage Grant recipients that were announced in June 2022, are now coming to life. Next year, they will share their impact reports with our network.
Guest Speakers
The General Assembly concluded with a presentation by Sandrine Couroyer, Individual Member of FEDORA, and Valérie Accary, co-funders of "Les MétamorFoses", the first collection of artworks created out of imperfect materials. By illustrating how artists upcycle imperfect materials, sourced from the finest manufacturers, "Les MétamorFoses" encourages the reflection on the worth of the imperfect and the value of artistic upcycling as a driver and enabler of societal change.
