Describe the main features of the measure/initiative:
The project “Develop. Develop Again. Develop Better” was launched by the Rialto Theatre in 2020 within its Associate Artist Residence Scheme. More precisely, the Theatre collaborates with a Cypriot artist, who is assigned with the design and development of a programme related to the objectives of education, audience development and cultural outreach as well as the creation and presentation of innovative contemporary cultural expressions.
In 2020, four writers and four actors came together and co-developed under the guidance of Theatre directors and a dramaturg 4 new plays about “Development”. From January onwards, all participants met every week in the Theatre until the lockdown in March. The meetings continued virtually until May, when the group met again in the Theatre and presented the plays in the absence of audience. All plays were staged at Rialto in September.
