CREATIE (Royal Conservatoire Antwerp, BEL) and Mixed Currents (CeReNeM, University of Huddersfield, UK) join forces in organizing this 3-day conference-festival about collaborations in contemporary performance. We will explore challenges and consequences of close collaborations in new music, innovative collaborations and new performance formats and inclusive collaboration models within the performative scene of today. During this conference-festival, CREATIE and Mixed Currents will offer a wide variety of concerts, lecture-performances, panel discussions, papers and lunch concerts with students of the Royal Conservatoire Antwerp.
