ARTISTIC EXCHANGES THROUGH THE “SHARED” COMPANIES
The project also puts the emphasis on the development of artistic projects in which two or more partners on each side of the Channel work with the same company (hence “shared”) in their own respective area. It can be through creation, translation or adaptation residencies, community and outreach work, programming, etc., with the aim of presenting these projects within the European Zone of Artistic Projects.
The companies listed below have all been part of projects involving ZEPA partners on both sides of the Channel.
