The East European Performing Arts Platform 2016-19

The East European Performing Arts Platform (EEPAP) project was initiated in 2011 by IAM as part of the Polish Presidency of the Council of the European Union. Since 2012 it has been implemented in cooperation with the City of Lublin.
Its aim is to support and initiate activities for the development of the performing arts in Central and Eastern Europe. The platform initiates and supports the exchange of knowledge, information and experience between artists working in this region of Europe and specialists in the field of theatre and dance, and brings together artists, curators and theoreticians from Western and Eastern Europe. EEPAP implements educational, research and residency projects which provide an alternative to traditional programmes of academic centres and cultural institutions. In its activities it focuses on mutual relations between the performing arts and socio-political life. EEPAP is addressed primarily to independent performing artists, curators, critics, theorists and people running theatre, dance and festival centres from 18 countries covered by the project - Poland, Belarus, Ukraine, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Moldova, Georgia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Slovenia, Bulgaria, Kosovo, Macedonia, Romania and Croatia.
