"I am very appreciative for the chance to meet so many people and to engage in such profound, insightful and stimulating discussions in such a short time". Alvin Tan, Artistic Director, The Necessary Stage, Singapore.
This opportunity for Brisbane arts practitioners to attend a cross-media forum about Australia and Asian arts practice today featured specialists from Asia as well as Australia. It focussed on current challenges and ways forward for the future with a particular emphasis on Queensland within a national and international agenda.
Specialists from Asia gave examples of their international experience and Australians set the national and local scene. These presentations were followed by discussions from expert panels articulating challenges and ways forward. All attendees were encouraged to participate in three breakout sessions followed by a plenary.
This event offered artists and arts workers an exciting opportunity to hear, talk and offer ideas for the future.
