Open Call Assistej Festival

The 17th International Assitej Festival will take place in Kristiansand (Norway) from 12 to 16 September 2023 with the extensive EU project ConnectU. The organisers are looking for performing arts productions for young audiences between the ages of 0 - 19 and proposals for the professional program.

The festival has been entitled What Matters Mostand seeks to explore what is considered truly important. Submitted performances should be about something death- or life-important where it is made, or among those for whom it is made.

The professional program is closely linked to the themes of the artistic program. The professional program will consist of practical workshops and seminars that shed light on the subject matter or relevant working methods for those who work professionally with performing arts for the young audience. The content for the professional program should be either directly linked to an artistic production and/or that stands on its own.

Applications can be submitted until 15 November, the proposals will be reviewed by an artistic council. A bunch of children and young people will assist in the process. Find more information about the Open Call here.

Assitej Norge is a member organisation that promotes professional performing arts for a young audience - all over the world. The organisation offers international expertise in the form of courses, advice and networking, both in Norway and at festivals and conferences abroad.
